Search - Adolf and Eva on DVD

Surprisingly good

"I admit I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this DVD, but I was pleasantly surprised. If you've seen the color home movies of Eva Braun, then much of the material here will not be new to you. But the quality of Eva's movies varies, and this program uses high-quality, non-grainy footage, which added to its appeal. There are also some interviews with Hitler intimates through the years. They say nothing new, but their inclusion strengthens the overall effect. There are some questionable recreations here using actors, and they mis-identify Gretl Braun (Eva's sister) as Eva several times. I would have liked to have seen modern footage of the various Munich haunts of Hitler and Eva. But for the price, this is quite a good look at the relationship between the Fuehrer and his mistress."

"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."

"An Accurate, mostly color, history of Hilter and his mistress. I would recomend this to Hitler and WWII buffs."

"
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."
