"Ode to Victory" is a musical propaganda film made during WWII in order to convince the folks at home that the USA was terrific...and hence, the war with the Axis was moral and good.
There's no narration to the film. Just four segments with music and singing in the final one. They consist of: 1) Birth of Freedom; 2) The Land Divided; 3) Coming of Age: 4) Land of the Free.
Overall, this film probably went over well during the war, as the spirit of patriotism was strong. Today, however, due to changing values and times, it all comes off as very trite and dull.
