The North Star / Armored Attack! (1943)
Drama | Musical | Romance | War
When the school year ends, five friends from a small Ukrainian village decide to travel to Kiev. Their trip is cut short when German aircraft attack and their town falls under occupation. While many escape to the hills to form an anti-Nazi resistance group, a German doctor, Dr. Otto Von Harden (Erich von Stroheim), begins to use the children for medical experiments and as sources of blood transfusions for wounded German soldiers. Directed by Lewis Milestone, this story of valiant resistance stars Dana Andrews, Anne Baxter and Walter Huston as the Russian doctor who discovers the nefarious German plot. THE NORTH STAR was re-released in the midst of the Cold War as ARMORED ATTACK! The original references to the allied Russian military were excised and an overtly anti-Communist narration track was added.
Starring: Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Walter Brennan, Ann Harding, Jane Withers
