Customer Reviews of Black Fox: The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler
Dull and outdated I did not notice the date on the video - it is made in 1961. The photographs are good, and the fairy tale connection interesting. But the narrator (actress Marlene Dietrich) seems dull and monotonous, and the narration is too basic/does not capture the viewer's interest. A book on the holocaust or a more contemporary documentary of the same subject is recommended to this.
Accurate, but . . . .
Maybe a half hour's worth of documentary in an hour and a half film, and nothing that you couldn't get in a William Shirer book or BBC's "World at War" series. In fact, most of this information is available in children's history books, and this film offers no new insight or angles. The only thing that kept me watching was the historical video footage, which has been cleaned up nicely compared to that on "World at War." Still, i was compelled to fast-forward through the protracted telling of a Goethe fairy tale (?!) with accompanying art. The awkward soundtrack music and thickly accented narrator also detracted from the experience.
A cool, qualified telling.
Marlene Dietrich's cool, realistic narration of a disgraceful tale adds a new dimension to the often told details of Hitler's rise and fall. As a German and a contemporary of the Fuhrer's, she is well qualified to tell the story, and her measured tones do a great job of expressing the inexplicable nature of this so-recent piece of history. I appreciated the way she confronted her fellow countrymen's acceptance of this criminal; her references to myth and legend, along with the eerie music, are most atmospheric. The archival video and stills are clear and not cliched.
