This literary adaptation was one of only two films made during World War II on the subject of the Civil War following the Bolshevik Revolution, as attention by filmmakers and viewers shifted away from past history and toward the current conflict.
Unfortunately the movie How the Steel Was Tempered is not yet available on HBO Max.
