The film is built on a double allegory: the same paranoia that causes the POWs to target Sefton had 1) enabled the Nazis easily to scapegoat the Jews and 2) induced Hollywood shortly before the movie's release to institute the [[Red Scare|Blacklist]] scapegoating left-leaning scriptwriters, performers, and others. |
