FILM: 1984 | USA 1956| 90 minutes | Director: Michael Anderson
www.imdb.com/title/tt0048918
George Orwell wrote his visionary novel "1984" based on personal experiences with totalitarian systems. The 1956 film rendition appeared in the middle of the Cold War, not long after Orwell's death. His widow sold the film rights to a film agent without realising that the agent's employer was the CIA's culture department!
E# says:
"Impossible to see for most of my life, the 1956 film version of George Orwell’s 1984 reveals a gritty noir sensibility combined with a cynical world view, unwittingly reinforcing Orwell’s very message. The text of 1984 has never rung more true than in our current times."
