a Good Day to Die Hard

You’re probably used to seeing Russians presented as the bad guys in Hollywood movies. Ivan Drago from Rocky IV, Andrei Sator from Tenet, Yuri Komarov in A Good Day to Die Hard, even Boris and Natasha from Bullwinkle – the list goes on and on. But, Hollywood hasn’t always portrayed Russians as villains. It’s hard to believe there was a brief moment in history when Hollywood actually produced pro-Soviet films, where Russians were shown in a favourable light. The Cold War put Hollywood on the anti-Soviet trail and is one example of how the industry serves America’s political interests. Love and hate upon request, rigid censorship, and vilification of political opponents - find out more by watching the film.

An Iowa drugstore owner (Don Ameche) becomes embittered when his son is killed in World War II. The druggist believes that the boy's life was cut short before he had an opportunity to truly appreciate his existence. The grieving father is shown the error of his assumption by the ghost of his grandfather (Harry Carey), who through flashbacks details the good things about the son's short term on Earth, and the wonderful life that the druggist himself has enjoyed. Frances Dee plays Don Ameche's wife, while Ann Rutherford portrays his son's girl (who in turn is played in a flashback sequence by former Little Rascal Darla Hood).

Stabbings, shootings, genocide, torture, abduction, robbery, serial killing and mass suicide are just a few of the horrific crimes explored in Great Crimes and Trials. True stories carefully researched and reconstructed with actual archive footage. Cases which have become almost legendary in the annals of crime and detection.
