This 1952 Australian short documentary film is a 1950s Australian anti-communist propaganda film.
According to the book 'Communism in Australia: A Resource Bibliography' by Beverley Symons, Andrew Wells & Stuart Macintyre, this film was "subsidised by 20th Century Fox" and sponsored by American Film Distributors. Moreover, the film was also "one of the few overtly propagandist political films made at the Commonwealth Film Unit".
This film is, according to the National Film & Sound Archive (of Australia)'s "The Cold War" holdings catalogue, "a fictional dramatisation presented in the form of a newsreel". The National Film & Video Lending Service of Australia add that the film is "A montage of found [sic, sound], staged and actuality footage is disguised as newsreel in this anti-communist tract" whilst the book 'Communism in Australia: A Resource Bibliography' states that the film is "a montage of footage... disguised as a newsreel in this anti-communist tract".
The production catalogue synopsis for this film states that this film "...is a denunciation of loose thinking as a menace to Australia. It traces the history of communism and its conquests in Europe and Asia, and warns against apathy and failure to recognise the menace".
