Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about Adolf and Eva

Description
When Hitler rose to power, he could have had the pick of any number of women...yet he chose a simple girl from Munich to be his mistress. Eva Braun was only seventeen when she first met Hitler and her relationship with him remained a secret until after their death together. This program uses home movie footage and interviews with the people who knew them to help explain the attraction they had for one another and to reveal for the first time the full extent of their intimacy.

Customer Reviews for Adolf and Eva

Ho Hum
I got the impression it was more about filling time, surely not the best work on the subject.Adolf and Eva

A fine inexpensive documentary on Adolf and Eva

Written and directed by Marion Milne and nicely narrated by Michael Kitchen, who stars in Foyle's war, this 2001 documentary treats the relationship between Adolf Hitler (20 Apr. 1889-30 Apr. 1945) and his mistress Eva Braun (6 Feb. 1912-30 Apr. 1945), who married two days before they committed suicide in their Berlin bunker. The documentary (TT49:10, 4:3 aspect) is excellent and is mostly in color, consisting of color and especially B&W newsreel footage and portraits, Eva Braun's famous color home movies, dramatizations that are occasionally overwrought, and informative interviews. Interviewed are authoress Gitta Sereny (Albert Speer, 1995), Hitler's housekeeper, his SS bodyguard, Braun's housemaid, and her cousin. Not interviewed is Hitler's stenographer, Traudl Junge (1920-2002), who recently appeared in Blind spot (2002) as well as in World at war (1973-74). Adolf & Eva also has readings from Hitler's speeches and writings and from Braun's 1935 diary, The video quality is very good to excellent, including of the newsreel footage and, significantly, of Braun's home movies. This DVD is far superior to another DVD, Eva Braun: Hitler's mistress (2005?), which I reviewed elsewhere.Adolf and Eva

A good Hitler DVD
An Accurate, mostly color, history of Hilter and his mistress. I would recomend this to Hitler and WWII buffs.Adolf and Eva

All about Adolf and Eva B.
A fascinating portrait of Adolf and his otherwise little-known mistress Eva Braun. The content was interesting; I liked the orginal film footage provided of the two; a very thorough documentary.Adolf and Eva

For historians and neo-Nazis only
It's both bizarre and a little bit scary to see such a sympathetic prortrait of Hitler these days. Watching it does help you to understand what Hannah Arendt meant went she spoke of "the banality of evil", but it also makes you wonder how the producers could make a film that portrayed Hitler with none of the context of the world he tried to create. Scary.Adolf and Eva
