Palmerin Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 What recognition did people like Curtiz, Henreid, Lorre, Reagan, Veidt, and Wayne receive for their propaganda work during WWII? Was there a decoration specifically intended for that purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElCid Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 What recognition did people like Curtiz, Henreid, Lorre, Reagan, Veidt, and Wayne receive for their propaganda work during WWII? Was there a decoration specifically intended for that purpose? For one thing, they got commissions in the military. Of course, so did industrial leaders who took on "military" war production jobs.

Dargo Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well, I THINK I heard they all got both extra gasoline rationing cards AND an extra special booth at the Brown Derby until just after V-J Day. (...but don't quote me on this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...but don't quote me on this) Don't forget they also got a case of vodka and free tickets to the Bolshoi theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Faiola Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I just got in a print of an excellent instructional short with Ronald Reagan, Craig Stevens, Harvey Stephens and narrated by Art Gilmore. RECOGNITION OF THE JAPANESE ZERO FIGHTER. Aside from being well written, both instructionally and dramatically, it was extremely well photographed and directed. Uncredited as director is Bernard Vorhaus, who was later blacklisted. A really well done two-reeler. It's on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Capra got a distinquished service medal. For "Why We Fight", if not for the Private Snafu shorts. Although Dr. Seuss did get a Legion of Merit award for his part in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
