Quote:
The Town was a short propaganda film produced by the Office of War Information in 1945. It presents an idealized vision of American life, shown in microcosm by Madison, Indiana.

The diversity of the town’s ethic origins is highlighted, noting the Czech, Dutch, German, and Italian communities, some of whom were immigrants of children of immigrants. Schools are free and open to all, as are libraries and swimming pools. The press is free. Some people are shown who don’t like the current administration in Washington, and don’t like the newspaper’s policy, but the newspaper prints their complaint. Trials are conducted in front of a jury, for all the world to see. The prosecutor was the judge’s opponent in the last election, and even said he was unfit for office, but they work together anyway. Everyone had the right to vote, from the store keeper, to the attorney himself. In a democracy the only thing that is secret is the ballot.

The film ends by stating that the American people, descended from settlers in the old world, are now going back over the seas to free their homelands.

Immanuel Rath is a stuffy, disciplinarian professor who is shocked to discover his students passing around a postcard of Lola-Lola, a singer at The Blue Angel cabaret. Hoping to catch his students there, Professor Rath visits the nightclub and witnesses Lola-Lola’s performance. Entranced by her dissolute charms, he gets drunk on champagne and spends the night with her. The ensuing scandal causes him to lose control of his students and he is terminated from his position. Returning to Lola, he agrees to marry her and joins the troupe. His humiliation at having to play a clown onstage is compounded by Lola’s attraction to the strongman Mazeppa. To make matters worse, the troupe returns to the professor’s hometown, forcing him to acknowledge how far he has fallen.
