The Oscar for Best Picture in 1942 went to a film that in
the end comes down to war propaganda, complete with a plug for U.S. War Bonds.
As troubling as film as propaganda is, the last scene in the film raises even
more fundamental problems that the film glosses over. Tellingly, the scene
takes place in a bombed church in the fictional English village.
