This movie was considered patriotic before 1945 but controversial afterwards. During the Cold War, the conservatives not only ripped this movie to shreds but also castigated anybody associated with its production as being dupes of the communists. It eventually led to the persecution of the Hollywood 10 and a lot of silly talk about how the movie industry tried to brainwash the American people into liking communism. But today in 2010, that is all history.
This movie is one of the greatest comedies of the 20th century.

@maladetts In answer to your question, I think it was produced in 1943.
