great story, excellent acting. also, i had the joy of seeing luther adler do tevya in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF maybe 25 years after seeing THE MAGIC FACE.
this is one of those movies that stay with you forever...i only wish i could rent it now, to show it to a few friends, and of course see it again.
the music was also interesting. i can still remember the melody when the quick change actors go from one costume to another.
the introduction by newsman shirer at the top of the movie was also a nice touch, and gave a documentary type of feel to the black and white movie.
adler was stunning as Hitler. the resemblance was uncanny.
