During World War II, Hollywood studios supported the war effort by
making patriotic movies designed to raise the nation's morale. They
often portrayed the combatants in very simple terms: Americans and
their allies were heroes, and everyone else was a villain. Norway,
France, Czechoslovakia, and England were all good because they had
been invaded or victimized by Nazi Germany. Poland, however, was
represented in a negative light in numerous movies. In "Hollywood's
War with Poland," " 1939"-"1945," M. B. B. Biskupski draws on a
close study of prewar and wartime films such as "To Be or Not to
Be" (1942), "In Our Time" (1944), and "None Shall Escape" (1944).
He researched memoirs, letters, diaries, and memoranda written by
screenwriters, directors, studio heads, and actors to explore the
negative portrayal of Poland during World War II. Biskupski also
examines the political climate that influenced Hollywood films.
