The years from 1939 to 1941 had many other movies that pushed the idea that we should be involved in the war that was already happening. British films like "The Sea Hawk" and "Pimpernel Smith" were often selling the idea (sometimes under the guise of historical drama) of the war as necessary.<br /><br />As for "Nanook" I would recommend including Edward Curtis' "In The Land Of the Headhunters". It is more surrealistic but has stunning imagery.Marc Coltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130957854200677551noreply@blogger.com
