Youtube version is not great, the other one there has horrible sound. No doubt Netflix or your library has it.<br /><br />This was not only a big time anti-German propaganda film in the 1938, it was also the first movie to have a sound track written specifically for the movie. Well worth watching, though a bit morbid in places, nothing compared with today's films.ecoarchitecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824602705492756728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-30739818014799392902017-11-17T19:36:55.059-08:002017-11-17T19:36:55.059-08:00Lieutenant Kijé was an unrepentant slacker!
