Wonderful character development!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

IMDb is a great bible for discovering unknown B movies, like this Magic Face, never seen in France. Thanks to the reviewers, I was excited for seeing this incredible version of the story of WWII, and I wasn't disappointed, it even explains some German mistakes. One of the writer is Mort Briskin, who has written The Second Woman and A Man Alone, mostly TV products and his two absolutely strong thrillers with Joe Don Baker directed by Phil Karlson, Framed and Walking Tall. The other writer is Robert Smith who has written great titles like I Walk Alone, Sudden Fear, Quicksand, 99 River Street and who also wrote The Second Woman with Mort Briskin. And the director is Frank Tuttle, no need to tell what great noir movies he directed. The three make a very fine team for creating a war movie treated on a noir style.I just wonder why this very surprising gem hasn't ever been released, this incredible story deserves to be a cult B classic.

I'm in my 70's. I saw this movie once somewhere when I was very young, maybe 20 - 25 years old. I searched for years to get the name of the movie until finally a movie reviewer in New York City identified it for me. I have searched at least another 10 0r 15 years to find some way to see it again. Finally, I got to watch it on my computer screen in 7 jerky parts on YouTube. It was still fascinating. One of the reviewers said he was able to buy a copy. Does anyone know where one can buy a copy in VHS or DVD? I have described this movie to dozens of people. Some of them in the film business but none have been able to come up with a copy. Does anyone know why this movie is being denied to the public? Or better question, where I can buy a copy?

I saw this movie in 1951 in a theater in Brooklyn, NY with my grandmother for sure and maybe my mother. I was young, only seven years old.For some reason its always stuck in my mind. I remember Luther Adler and that it was in black and white. Something I can't pinpoint exactly was fascinating about it. Possibly it was Adler's performance, the film seemed grim and dark like the subject of World War Two. I remember him ranting and raving, like Hitler would have. Never knew Adler was related to Stella Adler the acting teacher. If it was available, I'd buy it in a minute. I wish it was. Maybe if enough of us comment on it, they would re-release it in VHS or some other form. Luther Adler was an excellent actor. I remember him as the Israeli Prime Minister in CAST A GIANT SHADOW. I also remember him in DOA with Edmond O'Brien as the bad guy,but can't remember him in DESERT FOX with James Mason, another cinema giant.

As i remember it, it was presented as a true story, according to the introduction. It is the only story of Hitler's life that explained many of the unexplained changes that happened during the war. It was very interesting and would love to obtain a copy of this movie for my own collection.
