Featured review
Between the years of 1933-1945 approximately 1000 feature films were produced in Nazi Germany. And, considering who was in full control of that country at the time, it's actually surprising to find out how few of these films came even close to being overt Nazi propaganda in their subject matter.
From comedy, to romance, to fantasy, to musicals, and to so much more - This intriguing historical documentary takes a close-up look (through hundreds of film clips) at German cinema as it existed during the reign of terror of the Third Reich in Germany.
(*Note*) - As one closely watches this endless stream of film clips it is difficult to view any of them as being just "harmless entertainment" without wondering whether there existed some sort of insidious hidden message in the stories that were being told.
