Warner Brothers ,1952 [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044418/] ) was aJohn Wayne film starring Wayne andJames Arness asHUAC investigators hunting down communists in the post-warHawaii organized labor scene. The film has developed something of acult following due to a perceivedly now-campy red scare theme. The German version of the movie dispenses with thecommunist angle, making the villainsdrug dealers instead. This was achieved entirely through script changes and dubbing.References
