Featured review
Exceptionally well made and free of the usual propaganda and jingoism.
"Tunisian Victory" is a film that seems much more like a documentary than the usual propaganda pictures being made in America at the time. What I mean by this is that the documentary tells the story of the Allied victory in North Africa in a very straight forward manner...with little of the usual jingoism and hyperbole. Because of this, it's aged very well.
The story is of Operation Acrobat. It begins in November, 1942 when combined American, British and Free French forces invades Northwest Africa in Morocco and soon heading to Algeria and Tunisia. The story is told using lots of high quality footage taken of the battle as well as diagrams and narration as well as actors providing some of the narration in the guise of soldiers.
The bottom line is that for 1944, I cannot imagine a better war documentary and it's quite a bit better than many of the other similar documentaries of the day. Well made, interesting and a treat for history lovers.
