"49th Parallel," directed by Michael Powell, plays like a wartime road movie with a mission: to sway American hearts before the U.S. joined the fight. As a group of Nazi sailors makes their way across Canada, the film unfolds as a series of ideological duels, each encounter offering a quiet stand against fascism. It’s propaganda, sure, but thoughtful propaganda. For anyone interested in wartime cinema and moral resistance, it’s worth your time.
