Going through Box Office magazine back issues (1943-1944) I saw many movies advertized that I don't think will ever see the light of day again, mostly because of their propaganda or subject matter. Some of the titles are:
HITLER: BEAST OF BERLIN (starring Alan Ladd!), BEHIND THE RISING SUN, THE CITY THAT STOPPED HITLER, HITLER: DEAD OR ALIVE, I ESCAPED FROM THE GESTAPO, RAVAGED EARTH, STRANGE DEATH OF ADOLF HITLER, WE'VE NEVER BEEN LICKED, THREE RUSSIAN GIRLS, COASTAL COMMAND, DISNEY'S VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER, THE RED MENACE, TWO MAN SUBMARINE, THE MASTER RACE, HARA KIRI (with Charles Boyer), THE UNWRITTEN CODE, STORY OF HITLER'S WOMEN, SHE'S A SOLDIER TOO, U-BOAT PRISONER & WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN, BETRAYAL FROM THE EAST. Some of these films had 2 page ads!
And how about these exploitation titles from Monogram Pictures and other small companies:
WHERE ARE YOUR CHILDREN, WOMEN IN BONDAGE, ARE THESE OUR PARENTS, CHILD BRIDE, DELINQUENT DAUGHTERS.
