Our Russian Front is a 1942 American documentary film directed by Joris Ivens and Lewis Milestone, and narrated by Walter Huston to promote support for the Soviet Union's war effort.

[1][2][3] In production before America entered World War II, the film was completed several weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, having gone through frantic last minute updates to ensure it meeting its February 1942 release date.

[4] Joris Ivens anticipated that editing might take a week, but stated that Hollywood [sic] "fiddled with it for two months and unrecognizably altered the original version.

They note that it did not rank favorably when compared to "great documentaries" because its commentary was uninspired, and it attempted to crowd too much within a timeframe of 40 minutes, resulting in it being only "a synoptic account of the Russian war effort".

"[1] In the New York Daily News, reviewer Dorothy Masters noted that while "scenes of actual combat are few and far between" the film nevertheless provided "a fairly comprehensive outline of activity behind the front, with the home guard assembling for detail, guerrillas getting their secret orders, the hurried harvesting and storing of grain, old Cossacks getting back into saddle, replacement of women on tractors and in the factories, and care of infants not yet old enough to take their places in the machinery of war.
