...widening rift between Britain and the U.S. is caused largely by the pressure of British public opinion on Her Majesty's Government. There is anti-U.S. feeling in both parties, but most of it is generated on the left, among journalists and intellectuals who consider themselves antiCommunist, and many of whom are Christian socialists.

...shifting and often unsavory political alliances with both Fascist and Communist causes. In Strange Deception, Malaparte, who now claims to have renounced all forms of politics, has made a completely unpolitical movie which he describes as "a Christian film." It is neither pro-nor antiFascist, neither pro-nor antiCommunist; instead, with an almost religious fervor, it voices a profound compassion for the sorrow...
