REVIEWS Review by Norma gavick (posted on 9-Feb-2008) I have watched this movie at least four times. The truth is I have what I believe to be pretty universal feelings about the content - that is - the annilation of the Jewish population in WW11, utter disgust. But from the moment I watched Mr. Ganz enter the interview room with the prospective secretaries, I believed him to be Hitler. His mannerisms, tone, behavior is exactly what I believe Hitler's to have been. There was only one performance that surprized me - Eva Braun. I didn't realize she was such a, shall we say, superflous party girl. The part of Traudl Humps-Junge was played wonderfully by the actress. I can think of two others who will remain with me for a very long time - Albert Speers and Magda Goebbels. In fact I was so taken by their charactors and their performances I have done a little research and also purchased a book about Mrs. Goebbels. This movie will remain in my collection and will be watched and appreciated many more times I assure you. Bravo to the director.
