Although these images are uncredited, Margaret Bourke-White, in the course of her work as a still photographer, was the production photographer for the 1943 RKO anti-fascist film, The North Star. The film was one of several such projects undertaken by Hollywood at the behest of the government in order to clarify the state of Soviet/U.S. relations brought on by the war, and to promote a sympathetic understanding of the pllight of the common Russian peoples in the face of Nazi invasion. Samuel Goldwyn enlisted Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Western Front) as director; Lillian Hellman was screenwriter; Aaron Copland and Ira Gershwin were the composers of the score. The cast included Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Farley Granger, and Erich von Stroheim.
