Leftist Movies of the 1930-70s?

[MortSahlFan]

From any country.. It doesn't even have to be political, although "The Grapes of Wrath" have a few references. Many of the neo-realist movies, for example, usually about family struggles due to the anti-labor system, anti-working class.

A movie with heart.

1. "Norma Rae" starring Sally Field

Fabulous movie and performance by Sally.

[Va Lefty]

2. "The Americanization of Emily" 1964

James Garner, Julie Andrews and James Coburn. Definitely a strong anti-war message.

where she's snapped, when he says that we have to take blame, too.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Staring: ‎Peter Sellers, ‎Peter Sellers, and ‎Peter Sellers.

Here's the fraudulent wine, bottled in San Rafael, California, that started the hilarious sequences of events:

7. Frank Capra's 'You Can't Take it With you."

Most of Capra's movies would qualify.

Mike Nichol's Catch-22.
