40's movies marathon - part 16

'Pimpernel' Smith (1941, UK) - "In Nazi Germany, nobody can expect to be saved by anybody!" boasts the spokesperson for the Ministry of Propaganda as he dismisses rumors of a modern-day pimpernel who rescues scientists from Germany. Nazi stereotypes from during the war suffer from a lack of imagination. They're just small-time crooks, mean and stupid. Watched: 7 minutes.

Sergeant York (1941, USA) - Gary Cooper is a violent drunkard. But Jesus and the Great War will no doubt sort him out. Watched: 18 minutes.
Stukas (1941, Germany) - No subtitles, but the message seems to be: Our wholesome and cheerful pilots, when the time comes, for the Fatherland their lives joyfully sacrifice will. Watched: 4 minutes.
