An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Mortal Storm, the 1940 Frank Borzage pre-war World War II (WWII) anti-Nazi thriller ("The most exciting picture!"; "The Novel by Phyllis Bottome"; about a professor, his daughter, and her boyfriend in an unnamed European country that is seeing the rise of a fascist group that is taking over the country, and their courageous attempts to both speak out against it and to escape) starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Robert Young, Frank Morgan, Robert Stack, Bonita Granville, Irene Rich, Maria Ouspenskaya, William T. Orr, and Gene Reynolds. Note that MGM somewhat courageously made this anti-Nazi movie before the U.S. entered World War II, but they were successfully exporting all of their movies to Germany, and so they attempted to appease Adolf Hitler by not mentioning the Nazis by name, and not identifying the persecuted families in the movie as being Jewish, but that attempt failed, and after this movie was released, Hitler banned MGM movies from Germany! This episode is especially ironic, because in the movie, James Stewart's and Frank Morgan's characters courageously stand up against the Nazis and speak out, even though it means almost certain death, and yet, MGM could not find the same courage as their fictional characters (and meanwhile, over at Warner Bros., they were courageously making anti-Nazi movies like Confessions of a Nazi Spy, made a year earlier!).
