BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Spies" runs for 3.5 minutes, is in black-and-white, directed by Chuck Jones and voice acting comes from Mel Blanc. This one shows us how Snafu cannot keep a secret and enemies have their eyes and ears everywhere, so they know all about Snafu's plans. This was a pretty entertaining watch, packed with nice political references and we seven see Hitler as Satan in the end. I can totally see why this Snafu cartoon is more popular than most of the others. It is better in terms of humor, but also more relevant in terms of political context. And it actually tells an important message to soldiers. Be quiet about what you know if you talk to people that you cannot 100% trust. This somehow applies today as well. A very entertaining film and I very much recommend it. My favorite Snafu.

utgard14 One of the best Private Snafu shorts. These cartoons were made for use by the U.S. Army during WWII as instructional films for soldiers. The hope was the grunts would learn what to do (and not to do) by watching buffoonish Snafu make mistakes in humorous fashion. Directed by Chuck Jones with a rhyming script from Dr. Seuss himself. Typically fine voice work from Mel Blanc. Nice black & white animation. The subject for this short is, as you can guess by the title, espionage. Specifically that soldiers should be aware that enemy spies are all around and not to be blabbing military secrets in public. To illustrate this, the short starts with Snafu bragging about having a secret that he can't tell. It doesn't take long before Snafu winds up telling the secret to a beautiful Nazi secret agent. This has disastrous consequences for the American fleet, which leads to a hilariously dark ending for Snafu.

Lee Eisenberg True, "Spies" is a WWII propaganda film, so it portrays the Germans and Japanese - and maybe the Italians; I couldn't quite tell whether or not the cartoon portrayed them - mercilessly. But other than that, it's a real hoot, as that quintessential idiot soldier Private Snafu has a secret and tries to keep it hidden but accidentally spills it, leading to an attack by the Axis Powers.So as long as we understand what it shows, then we can really enjoy it. I guess that if nothing else, the cartoon does bring up the question of whom we can trust during wartime. But it's worth seeing just to hear the Dr. Seuss rhythm in it. Pretty funny.

emasterslake The flow of the story and gags work perfectly in this one.All has to do with Snafu trying not to reveal a secret to the spies that are following him.This was made back when Germany and Japan was the enemy of America. So allot of the spies are mostly German, Japanese or just some sneaky looking fellas.what also cool is it's the only Snafu cartoon with a cartoon version of Hitler himself.Please note that this film is banned along with other Snafu shorts due to it having racist stuff on the Japanese.So I won't recommend showing this to anyone who is Japanese or German to prevent any offending.besides that it is a great WW2 short.
