* KangarooCourt: {{Averted}}. The Moscow Trials were a real-life example, but the movie condenses them into one trial and portrays it as fair.

* ThePurge: Referred to as a "purge" in the movie, yet still somehow averted. Stalin's purge and show trials are depicted as legitimate proceedings that rooted out traitors and fifth columnists. The movie would have you believe that Bukharin was in league with Ribbentrop.

The movie would have you believe that Bukharin was in league with Ribbentrop. Davies' personal memoirs were more ambiguous about the actual guilt of those accused in the Great Purge, but Mission to Moscow being a wartime film, this ambiguity is removed.

''Mission to Moscow'' was directed by Creator/MichaelCurtiz and starred Creator/WalterHuston as Davies. Compare ''Film/GabrielOverTheWhiteHouse'', another very odd political film starring Walter Huston.
