Product info

Inspired by the recent success of made-for-TV movies set during the Second World War, NBC broadcast HITLER'S S.S.: A PORTRAIT IN EVIL in 1985. The telefilm was written by Lukas Heller, better known for his scripts to the classic films THE DIRTY DOZEN and HUSH, HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE. The film stars John Shea and Bill Nighy as young brothers who come of age during the Third Reich. Helmut (Nighy) joins the S.S., foolishly hoping to do good there from the inside. His brother Karl joins the political arm of the party, only to meet with disaster. The film shows how naivete advanced the policies of the Nazis, and how even those with good hearts were corrupted in Hitler's Germany. Tony Randall also appears in a few performance scenes that recall CABARET, another film set in the Nazi era with similar themes.
