Clark Gable "predicts" Germany invading USSR

There's this movie I recomend called "Comrade X" starring Clark Gable and Heddy Lamarr made months before Barbarossa where Clark Gable, in the USSR, as part of a con of sorts, falsely claims Germany has invaded the USSR. It ends where the Yankees are beating the Reds in the 1939 or 1940 World Series with Gable and former die hard USSR Commie Lamarr present.

The critics bombed it. And rightly so.:p
 
So what is the movie actually about? Synopsis wise I mean.

For such things God created Wikipedia:D

In the Soviet Union, American reporter McKinley "Mac" Thompson (Clark Gable) secretly writes unflattering stories, attributed to "Comrade X", for his newspaper. His identity is discovered by his valet, Vanya (Felix Bressart), who blackmails Mac into promising to get his daughter, a streetcar conductor named Theodore (Hedy Lamarr), out of the country. Theodore agrees to a sham marriage so she can spread the message of the benefits of Communism to the rest of the world. However, Commissar Vasiliev (Oscar Homolka) is determined to unmask and arrest Comrade X.

The critics bombed it. And rightly so.:p

Still got a Oscar-nomination.
