Title: Anachronisms Galore
Product review: I have trouble with films with glaring anachronisms, and this one has them right off the bat. The initial scenes take place in Bavaria in 1938 and the clothes and hairstyles of the female characters are straight out of the late 50's. Ditto for the scenes showing the early to mid 40's. If I am not mistaken, in some of the scenes depicting the war years, some of the women's costumes had Dior's "New Look" construction, which was definitely POST war. So, a half baked attempt to be true to the 40's was attempted, but they got the timing wrong.More problematic for the plot is the female lead's prescience to know how bad Hitler was going to be--in 1938. Her whole attitude is of someone who knew the outcome of WW II, which she obviously couldn't have at that time. Avoid this clunker.
