This is a communist propaganda film.

The film does not promote communism at all. It does have that depression era vibe that pits ordinary people against rich greedy business owners.

1946 post war America was getting a bit tired of that narrative.

This film was depicted a era BEFORE FDIC, which protects depositors for $100k.

It also shows the harmful effects of monopoly power. (Also game which we have all played and know well)

The US government has taken measures to protect the public from these negative aspects of capitalism.

Did you miss the part where Potter finds and keeps the $8000 that Bailey lost then calls the police to swear out a warrant for George's arrest for a bank short-fall? Yes, bad man.

The film opens up showing the characters are Christians and praying. Communist propaganda would never show that.

It was investigated not long after as being such.
