Attached is a film review from DIRECTION MAGAZINE discussed many of the forthcoming movies of 1941 and how they so rarely depict American culture in an accurate light:
“In bringing back the usual revelations from a trip through the Middle West, I want to repeat the oft-declared amazement that American films… reflect the barest minimum of the American scene in these United States. The rare attempts of the “Grapes of Wrath” and “Primrose Path” to seek and show new dramatic settings, are the exceptions that prove the rule of formula.”
