Ye of so little faith. I didn't see if you answered the question as to whether you actually saw the movie or not? Yes, my review was my impression. Was the film a little technical? Possibly, but I alluded to that in my "tying up loose ends" comment, n'est pas? But I wanted a critical study and this film fit the bill bigtime. The film was based on not one but two books. It certainly didn't present any of the known beasts in anything resembling a postive manner. Hell, the manner in which the "Palace intrigue" was presented was totally believable. Albert Speer came off reasonably well, but from what I've read of Speer, that isn't totally without factual basis. To the other poster who objected about the possible humanizing of AH, to the ectent he was humanized, it was slight. He did show a certain "charm" on occasion, in the scene set in 1942 (when the movie opened). But those occasions were few and far between. When the pedal hit the metal, he was completely the madman that we all knew and hated.
