Red Salute [VHS] Reviews
| 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful  DRUE VAN ALLEN., This review is from: Red Salute [VHS] (VHS Tape) Stanwyck plays the above character in a rather untypical role: that of a happy college girl who gets romantically involved with the now-forgotten Hardie Albright - who has been seduced by Communist propaganda.... Because of its anti-Communist theme, RED SALUTE was so notorious in 1935 that it occasioned a riot by leftist students when it opened at New York's Rivoli Theatre. More than 150 students demonstrated with many being arrested. Constance Cummings was originally to play the Stanwyck role in this variation of the IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT theme. Without the anti-red preaching, it would have been a pretty decent comedy: it was re-released as RUNAWAY DAUGHTER with some cutting of the controversial theme, and was shown on TV entitled HER ENLISTED MAN (!). 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful An Amazing example of liberal censorship, This review is from: Red Salute [VHS] (VHS Tape) When Red Salute was released in 1935, the theaters playing it were bombed and the liberals rioted. The effect; freedom of speech was stifled in this country concerning any attempt to make films about the Communist menace. It was this film, for example, that Hal Wallis of Warner Bros was referring to when he put a stop to a propossed anticommunist comedy in the early forties, citing that the communists would probably smoke bomb the theaters. The amazing thing? Red Salute is a screwball comedy! And it is not that good a screwball comedy at that. It's a good film to be sure. The action sequences are very well done. It is well acted. It is just not that funny. And, as a anticommunist film, it is not that effective. To be an effective anti anything, one must first explain it and communism, like Nazism, takes some explaining and Red Salute is a scewball comedy. The genre really doesn't allow for long historical political explications. Though, the film does make the point...

It stars Barabara Stanwyck and Robert Young. The film is well acted, solidly directed with some nice action/chase scenes. Yet it is a minor screwballer at best, not particulary funny at all with a weak script. Certainly worth seeing yet not great. The most fascinating thing about Red Salute is it's somewhat anticommunist theme. Stanwyck's boyfriend is a communist agitator working for the Soviet Union and the film does not approve. Yet it's anti-red message is really not very strong. This is a screwball comedy after all. The form does not really allow for long digressions on social/political/historical theory. And, like Nazism, Communism does need to be explained. NINOCHKA has the same problem. Consequently, RED SALUTE's anticomminism is about as hard as a soap bubble. Yet this film resulted in liberal riots and theaters being firebombed... Read more |
