A very good insight into the last days of 'Der Fuhrer' and his chums, charting the atmospheric goings on, in the bunker. Somewhat suspenseful and a narrative of the facts, but partly let down not by the performances of, but as, some have said on here already, the un-matched lookalikes. (I.e: Richard Jordan as Speer and the Goebbels one).
Though it has to be said, Anthony Hopkins gave another of his outstanding performances as Hitler. (Though I thought the moustache was a little broad - this may have been the light or the fact that it seemed more brown than black, like Hitler's).
Well worth watching. A comparative favourite of mine is 'Hitler, the Last Ten Days' which I still believe to be superior, though there are those who don't agree on here, on this review. A deciding factor I think was a better bunker, interjections of documentary footage mainly compromising Hitler's words and of course the lookalikes (John Bennett as Goebbels and Mark Kingston as Bormann, Doris Kunstmann as Eva Braun and an equally impressive Alec Guinness's Hitler). Watch them both!
