Twistin 3rd Dec 2015		Rated 6/10 Before the Germans invaded the USSR and surrounding territories in 1941, everyone and everything about life in Kiev was paradise, heaven on Earth. Singing, dancing, romance, opportunity, national pride, family values, and a strong passion for work! Never a (Uk)rainy day. So says Samuel Goldwyn in RKO's obligatory entry in the pro-Soviet propaganda series created to appease the war effort. Broadly overdone in many areas, it often resembles a cartoon. But for all the collectivist, Marxist glory in the opening reel, the genocidal starvation of at least five million Ukrainians would have been a more realistic first act. Don't forget to clench tightly to the heavy-handed final speech by Anne Baxter, followed by majestic closing credits score. Mind you, I like fantasy films, but just a few years prior, The Wizard of Oz created high expectations for the genre that "The North Star" just couldn't compete with. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
