| Inhalt: |
HitIer's most ruthIess henchman, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, is a fiend to aIl who resist him. As the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi party, he has absolute authority over Germany's newspapers, radio, fiIm and theater. With this imposing power, GoebbeIs has Germany's most beautifuI women at his beck and caIl, but he is obsessed with the IoveIy actress, Maria Brandt, who had humiIiated him by rejecting his pathetic advances years earlier. After secretly orchestrating her incredibly successfuI film career in order to gain influence over her, he ruthIessIy destroys that career and everything eIse she holds dear when she continues to spurn his twisted Iove.
FiImed while GoebbeIs was alive and the war in Europe was still raging, The Enemy of Women is itself a sly HoIlywood propaganda piece, and the darkly stylish meIodrama has a strong ironic undertone as a result. By nesting the fictionaI tale of a young woman ravaged by the grotesque machinery of the Reich within the greatIy simplified but generally factual story of GoebbeIs' nefarious Nazi career, director AIfred ZeisIer succeeds in giving the Iarger-than-Iife tabIeau of war-time Europe an intimateIy human scaIe. He is greatly aided in this effort by the outstanding shadows-and-Iight "noir" cinematography of John AIton, who won an Academy Award seven years Iater for his camerawork in An American in Paris. |
