Keeper of the Flame

An important message in a world bent on fostering isolating and unhealthy nationalisms. Even though this movie was released in 1943, in the wake of annihilating European fascism, the last scenes should speak a cautionary word to our 2018 world. [spoiler]It gives a description of how fascism seeds hate, suspicion and enmity in a nation and its subsequent disastrous harvest[/spoiler]. Besides being uncomfortably current, this is a great movie. The mystery is intriguing. The thill is enthralling. The acting and chemistry is... well... Tracy and Hepburn. Need I say more? This is the second of 9 movies that Tracy and Hepburn gave us and may I say, "Thank you" to Turner Classic Movies (TCM) for bringing them back to us. I give this film an 8 (great) out of 10. {Drama, Thriller, Mystery}
