Title: Never before seen footage?
Product review: The blurb on the box of this movie claims there is "an abundance of never-before seen footage of Hitler in his private life." This boast would only be true had you been living on Mars the past thirty years and have never been exposed to a single World War II documentary with scenes of Hitler. Actually, the quality of this production is so paltry the original color home movies of Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun, are shown here in black and white. Some comedown. There are no interviews with former associates of Hitler, nor any Allied opponents. In fact, there is no new or revealing material in this film at all.The narration is also singularly awful. Not only are German names and places horribly misprounounced, but the tinny musical score grates on the nerves after several minutes. Instead of throwing on some opulent and appropriate Wagnerian motive, the producers chose instead to hire a brass band from a local Oktoberfest celebration. Truly a dismal production!
