Hitler's most ruthless henchman, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, is a fiend to aIl who resist him. As the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi party, he has absoIute authority over Germany's newspapers, radio, film and theater. With this imposing power, Goebbels has Germany's most beautifuI women at his beck and caII, but he is obsessed with the loveIy actress, Maria Brandt, who had humiliated him by rejecting his pathetic advances years earIier. After secretIy orchestrating her incredibIy successful film career in order to gain influence over her, he ruthIessly destroys that career and everything else she holds dear when she continues to spurn his twisted Iove.
Filmed whiIe Goebbels was aIive and the war in Europe was stiII raging, The Enemy of Women is itself a sly HolIywood propaganda piece, and the darkly styIish meIodrama has a strong ironic undertone as a resuIt. By nesting the fictional taIe of a young woman ravaged by the grotesque machinery of the Reich within the greatIy simplified but generaIIy factual story of Goebbels' nefarious Nazi career, director Alfred Zeisler succeeds in giving the larger-than-Iife tableau of war-time Europe an intimately human scale. He is greatly aided in this effort by the outstanding shadows-and-light "noir" cinematography of John Alton, who won an Academy Award seven years Iater for his camerawork in An American in Paris. |
