Lorne Greene Sounds Worried

This is one of the series of shorts that Canada's National Film Board produced occasionally in the 1940s. In it, Lorne Greene - who, before he came down to Hollywood and starred in BONANZA, did a lot of narration for shorts like this - sounds mightily distraught as he tells us about the shipyards hard at work, and gives us warnings about Japanese war production, supervised by Nazis; 3000 Nazi agents showing movies to brainwash the Japanese leadership; and what looks to me like teenage girls doing synchronized swimming in schoolyards.

This movie was nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary, but every studio in the US turned out a short that was nominated. Even Paul Terry's cartoon studio would pick up one, although that wouldn't occur until 1945.

There's discussion of the US Navy, which was expected eventually to be added to the might of the Royal Canadian Navy. There's lots of discussion of Pearl Harbor, which Greene calls "The Gibraltar of the Pacific." This movie came out about a week before the Japanese attacked it.
