Is there any fictional or nonfictional representation of Hitler in cinema where he's giving one of his "great" speeches in English?
Seems like we tell kids he was evil and that he gave great speeches, but since the speeches are in German, the kids have no way of knowing what he's actually saying, so they don't recognize it when American politicians say the same things. |

Maybe Richard Basehart's 1962 movie. Never seen it.......but given the focus of the movie and Basehart's delivery, wouldn't surprise me to find one in there.

Good question OP.
I'd kinda liek to be able to hear Hitler and Stalin.... Find out what made them so popular.. I understand Hitler had passion but he had to make some kind of sense to the people he was speaking to. I'm a big boy.. I can hear it without going all nazi. |

Quoted:
Most all of the cinema of Hitler speaking in Germany was destroyed before and after the war. There are some clips that survived, but very few reached the allies hands. Recreation would be fine. A dub maybe, but a real actor better. Just to see wtf the appeal was, and how it relates to speeches we normally hear. Snow, I had a feeling you'd know. I'll take a look for that one tomorrow. |

Thank you for the complement.....but it's just a guess, mind you. ___________________________________________________________ ("I appreciate the complement."––McCoy to Kirk, (w,stte), ST:TOS "A Private Little War") |
