Absolutely Brilliant!

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

THE STRANGE DEATH OF ADOLF HITLER is an odd little film. I remember seeing as a 10 year old who was at the time fascinated by WWII and the Fall of the Third Reich. This movie showed up one afternoon on the TV in our basement club house and I found it an ironically twisted tale similar to the O. Henry's"The Gift of the Magi" only in this version the husband saves his wife by imitating Hitler and the wife ultimately saves her husband by killing him. Definitely worth a look,though finding a copy of the film in descent shape is virtually impossible.

Another great film about Hitler, great acting and a great story, similar to others about impersonation - but well worth watching...

In recently occupied Vienna, good-natured Ludwig Donath (Franz) jokes about a recent speech made by Hitler and before he knows it, the Gestapo come calling for him. He is taken from his family and that's it. He's in big trouble. However, his powers of mimicry spare his life as he is given an assignment to help the Nazi cause. His wife Gale Sondergaard (Anna) follows her heart as her hatred for the Nazis builds, especially when her children are taken from her. She decides on a plan.It's a short film that moves at a good pace even if the story is a little crazy. Donath's impressions are all the same and he doesn't sound like Hitler. Sondergaard is good as always and I guessed what was going to happen at the beginning of the film. Still, it keeps you watching.

Chaplin's "Great Dictator" may rank with the college film professor crowd as the imperial double people who look like Audi. But here, this is something clever. If you like the Sherlock Holmes WWII fests then slide this one in your disc player for an enjoyable evening.
