I felt EXACTLY the same thing. Politics driven by hatred of minorities and the educated. That's Trump in a nutshell. The big orange POS, with the little pecker.
Losing freedom of speech, just look at the way the police are dressed like storm troopers, police brutality causing people deaths. I was watching the other day in America a man was handcuffed they said he was intoxicated, the police ended up breaking his neck and back then they were mocking the poor man I think while he was dead the family are suing the police force.
Hollywood will NEVER duplicate these pictures and, NEVER EVER DUPLICATE THE PROFESSIONALISM RELEASED BY THESE ACTIRS AND ACTRESSES. MOREOVER, LET'S JUST SAY THE DAYS OF MODERN HOLLYWOOD ARE JUST ABOUT OVER!!!!!
A great movie. Let the world never forget what happens when a nation , begins to believe they are superior to all others. A great storyline and well acted. Thanks
"When one country thinks it's superior to others" as Hitler thought in 1939 trying to take forcefully back what Germany lost after WW1 is happening today 2022. Thanks Sheila for your true words and to Covfefe Trump for down loading this great truthful movie. But remember just because you are a certain nationality, your race is undesirable and should be hated or done away with like it was through time and alot are treated today. Remembering some songs of the 60s and 70s, All you need is love, Or war what is it good for,absolutely nothing
Yes America and Americans have had that attitude for a very long time but now with their cities being turned into s**tholes with the homeless, out of control crime and Hitler like leaders arresting political opponents on trumped up charges it is now becoming clear that America is just a third rate country.
Yes, but in today's "reality" some people are too brainwashed and ignorant to understand the meaning. Because in American each side sees the other exactly the same, unless the person speaking makes it clear which side he is on, it is impossible to know. I cannot assume to know your political leaning based on your comment. I agree with the comment, but without any clarification, I don't know if I agree with YOU.
Great acting. Great story. Great writers. No stupid drawn out fight scene, chase scene, special effects, or C.G.I. You really had to watch this movie and listen to what they were saying if ya wanted to "get it".
With that hairdo, Joan Bennett looks almost identical to Hedy Lamarr. Hedy was personally involved in WW II , even invented a way for our ships to avoid attacks from enemy ships. Her invention is now considered the background for the cell phones today. In fact, they say that without her invention, we may not have cell phones today. Her ex- husband was a German Munitions magnate from whom she tried unsuccessfully several times to leave, then escaped dressed as her maid. When I first started watching this film, I thought she had snagged a part related to her own life. But I forgot that she spoke very little English, so made very few movies. Sorry to go off on a tangent about Hedy.
smcfall3 I was curious about that too, looking at the thumbnail I was sure that was Hedy Lamar.Yes that story about her being brainy besides being a beauty is well known. Too bad she didn’t get all the credit she deserved.
I am always stunned at how the younger generation has no respect for their elders. Those in their senior years (like me) were young, had young ideas, and were very idyllic in our thinking. Then we grew and matured and learned life lessons so valuable to those who will listen. I love to listen to those older and wiser than me. They have helped me to avoid pitfalls that would have done me in.
Thanks for the great movie and for supporting our great President. I spent 19 months in Germany. Love the country, hate Nazi's. Glad my ancestors left Germany ect. in 1900 .
Agreed, glad my great grandmother came here from Poland in 1906, I think she may have been an undercover Jewish woman masquerading as a catholic, my dad agreed. But she had a sponsor and the money to earn the great privilege of being an American citizen, unlike the degenerate Interlopers permitted to denigrate this honor
@Jean Rhodes You must be a miserable person to carry around all that hate day in and day out. I didn’t vote for Obama either time he ran, but just because he wasn’t the person I wanted in the WH, I didn’t spend 8 years saying disgusting things about him. As America’s leader I prayed for him. What is wrong with you people!!
The scenes where they humiliate the Czechs are disturbing... For heaven's sake I will never comprehend why are people simpatising with fascism, nazism or communism in 21 century after all the tragedy that happened....you will expect people to learn the history's greatest lesson... NEVER AGAIN! (I'm a citizen of a Eastern European country, with full knowledge about comunism and its reminiscences).
They stopped teaching history. What is taught is politically filtered and revised. In my long life, I have observed that human nature is the same the world over and throughout all time. The odious characters in the Nazi regime and others are still here with us today in our communities. While they might lack the opportunities, they find their ways into authority roles which empower them to torture our citizens as much as they can. Certainly some police and officials relish the taking of our freedoms and our dignity - our rights. Sad, but true and realistic.
@@smcfall3 I re-read my comment, and for the life of me, I cannot imagine how this triggers your TRUMP bell? Trump won't have been thought of at the time the books I read were written about - ie: WW2. However, since you have raised the matter of TRUMP - I confess to according him "brick-bats" and Bouquets" as and when they are merited.. I think that is what any level headed and fair minded person must do. I cannot tell if you are a US conservative or Democrat.. Never mind the answer really in immaterial to me - I am not American
@@chvid2009 My point is the personality type - so Dictators can be in the home - the work place - the committee,- the club - the local council - and teaching out children. I don't know why people trash Trump so much while willing affording other odious creatures as free pass. I am not a trump supporter - can't be - he is not in my country and I cannot vote in the election - as such I am powerless and there seems to be no difference for us who-ever wins. That said I am very uncomfortable with the idea Biden might have a nuclear button within reach.
When Robin Williams did a show in Germany a lady in the audience asked him why Germans don't have a sense of humor......he said, "because you killed all the funny people..." The picture went to black, the show was over.....leave it to Robin.
This movie is also very relevant in today's hybrid early-stage of of WW-III (ongoing for many many years). Yes, 'our world' is truly at WAR, regardless of multitudes of deniers having 'spiritual-scales' over eyes & ears (& their heads bury'd in sands); A deadly Spiritual Warfare battle in ongoing our entire lifetime we've all been brainwashed to disbelieve; our programmed fatal-rebellion against God !! We' sheeple-citizens are in really big trouble and no one mortal politician can correct it. Our entire Establishment is utterly CORRUPT (our Constitutional Republic was overthrown generations ago , but super-majority of citizen-voters are IGNORANT !!
Joan has a beautiful speaking voice and such an intelligence about her. I discovered her watching Dark Shadows and am looking forward to seeing more of her film work.
I wish this could be shown to everyone in the US. With the state of politics in 2021 it would do us well to learn from the tragic history of Germany! God Bless America!
@@jonathangems I completely agree. I became a freak of sorts reading, watching, learning all I could about WW2, although I concentrated more on the Pacific theatre as that's where my father served. What I learned in school, even in college, was nowhere close to what everyone SHOULD know. Especially some of our slower congressmen and congresswoman.
Beautiful Opening and Ending Song! So sad that Mr. Hoffman stayed in Germany he should have stayed with his Beautiful Wife and Son and went back to America.
Francis Lederer was 40 years old in this movie. He died in 2000 at age 100. Image all the history he viewed first hand. WOW. Lived through 2 World Wars -the age of technology.
In 1984 I paid 1000 dollars for a 26 inch TV. Right now in 2024 at Walmart a 65 inch TV is 328. dollars This is the same as the cheap radios then. It's so the Governments can mold our minds.
Wow, what an incredible film. Everything is seen through Joan Bennett's eyes. After the set-up in New York, the drip, drip, drip of what is happening in Germany accrues until the final shattering climax with the father's big reveal, which brings it all together.
"You will suffer much, my son. From it you will learn what you would have done to others." Profound and inevitable. We are meant to love one another. This is a story for our times.
What a great wee film. Good enough for the old man doing that. We grow wiser and soften round our rough hard edges when we age. This was a prime example.
I love the fashion that Joan Bennet is wearing. The fashion of the past was flattering and sensible-very feminine and classy. We’ve come from that lovely fashion to yoga pants, cropped tops and tennis shoes . How far we have come....Wish I could say it was for the better, but it is not. Don’t even get me started on morals of today compared to the past. We have no conviction now except what social media says is right.
No kidding! I'm glad people are beginning to realize that. Just watch TV episode like the kind they run on commercial TV these days and observe the incredibly untalented "acting," which consists mostly of poses acquired and adopted and projected. Lame!
Thank you for sharing this movie with us. It’s significance today is astounding. So many similarities in today’s times. Thankful I grew up in a time when truthful history was taught. None of these atrocities are new to me , but they still affect me enormously, the horrors of WWll. Would be a good film for high school age children to watch.
It is creepy how much this is relevant to what is being proposed these days. The end remains true, they will suffer much for what they have done to others. A Gracious Loving God would not have it any other way. I am counting on that.
The dialogue that starts at minute 59 is just GREAT. The accuracy of the prediction of the war and its outcome, in a picture filmed in 1940! "(Hitler) in the long run, of course, he won't win, but before it's through (Schicki aka Hitler) is gonna spend and awful lot of blood".
@HOWARD BOYD it's all for control by employing hegelian dialectics to take away the few freedoms we have left. You're right about using both of them tactically.
Terrific and suspenseful film. Beware readers, there are lots of spoilers in these comments. Please folks, don't relate parts of the story in your remarks. Some people read them BEFORE watching the movie . . .
Francis Lederer did a marvelous job. Having to show such enthusiasm and admiration for the ultimate demagogue must have been difficult knowing what shmitler represented: hatred and murder. Incredible job.
Isn't it amazing how so many people can be swayed into following, saying and doing things that they know in their hearts is so very wrong - of course many out of fear and that's a fact. Others who have no remorse, conscience, and want power and money will follow like dogs with their masters any master. This was written and acted very well. Instead of celebrating both cultures they denigrated one to use as blackmail - it did the job but at what cost to this German man who was able to be used and influenced so easily. Who said life was a bowl of cherries... Always enjoyed Joan's presence on screen. Thanks.
Joan Bennett was one of the sexiest women to grace film. but back then. they were never allowed to play up that part of her. I always enjoy any movie she was in.
I like tho how Nolan’s character treats her in a very professional manner, without making a play for her or any sort of love interest. He helps her out as a friend and fellow American but by not trying to start something it shows her as a strong character.
This film shows all the tell tale clues that Nazism was a cult, not a political party, and exposes the danger of allowing a cult to rise to political power. A sobering lesson for these times.
I’m being sarcastic if anyone disagrees I come from old school these young rebels all went downhill. You think maybe the american culture would have learned something. Very sad when the government tells you what you can eat what you can drive where you should live. Sounds so familiar.
This movie was a geat find for me on UA-cam. A good movie and history lesson at the same time. I like how it takes place in Germany and you see the buy-in of the German people. I read in the comments the movie was made in 1940 so a lot was already going on in Europe prior to U.S. involvement. The scariest thing is this could all easily happen again anytime anywhere. I visited Munich and saw its Nazi sites and the Dachau concentration camp in 2016.
Great movie. I've seen it several times on UA-cam. You can't mistake Lamarr and Bennett, by the way. Lamarr could not fake an American accent. She was too European. (That's not a knock.)
This is likely a much more true story than we know multiple times over, ive heard of this happening to women marries to muslims they go for a "visit ", and she never gets her child back its so tragic that humanity turns against itself but it has been the story repeated over and over for thousands of years.
It happens here in America, when Obama changed the laws for his folks in 2008, children were taken from parents to make way for LGBT appropriations of children and to give his folks an easier time of losing theirs. I believe he will still face a military tribunal and get his just reward
@@michekids because of my faith i believe in Jesus and Gods Word, which clearly states that His Judgment on each of us is set to happen, even Christians like me will be judged as well, not because of the root of sin that is born in all of us,that separates us from God, but because of the Blood of Jesus by faith through believing in Him accepting Him and what He did for me and that He was raised from the dead for me, ive been forgiven forgiven that root of sin that separated me from God. I will be judged for what i did for Love with the right heart or wrong heart. Im confident that people who acted good but had evil in their heart Christian or not will get what they deserve even though Jesus did die for all to save all from that eternal place of punishment you hear referred to as hell, it is a real place and was only meant for satan and his crew of evildoers, but the unsaved will live out eternity there too as they have rejected The Son of God and His suffering for them. God doesn't "send" people to hell. God so Loved the world He sent His only Son that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WOULD BE SAVED ETERNALLY. I pray now your heart hears His voice calling you back to Him ❤😇
Wow! Striking ~ . . . . how immensely disturbing that it relates the tale of today's world, with its eyes wide shut, and sleep walking. 😶 What a remarkable film for its day too. Thank you, an important inclusion in the film archives. 👍💐
This is what happens when people think they are ENTITLED, and no one else has any right to get in their way. I see it every day in stores, traffic and especially politics. 25Jun23
The people in the USA should watch this movie. Then they will see how wonderful it will be when the government takes over. Soon it will be like this movie.
There's the movie Not Without My Daughter, with Sally Field copied from this, except her husband was Arab and they went over to Lebanon but she had to kidnap her little girl back. He hid her, oh very drama, sad, action all in one! Very good
That movie was based on a book that supposedly tells a true story. I use the word 'supposedly' because there is controversy as to the facts. Even so the two movies are not related.
Daryl Zanuck alone among studio execs. wasnt afraid to tackle controversial social topics like this. Good for him--film could be agent for change. The subject, most unfortunately. is still topical. As Reagan said. "freedom isnt free"
53:50. Flag right behind shows the swastika wrong. Deliberate? Or just an error during the making of this film? Very good movie. Listen closely to the dialogue. Really interesting.
Any Nation that doesn't know how to laugh is dangerous" "He won't be satisfied until he wipes the democracies off the map." "A child belongs to the state now", I find this movie terrifying
I was a liitle disturbed .. the TV telling us this the new normal ..like the father confined to the house .. I am receiving SMS reminders to stay home and keep safe ....this world is getting a bit scarey....
That’s their propagandized purpose...to scare you, to keep you afraid! Don’t be, there’s nothing now but a remnant of a plandemic that never should have happened. There’s a 99% survival rate for this flu, so get out of the basement, throw away your mask and go live your life! Tell these evil would-be dictators to go to _ELL!
This is frightening to me as I can see the similarities today in the USA.

Wow.. our present times so close to this. Wish those in a stupor of how governments and freedoms are taken over by worshipping a man.
It was his ideology that brought him to power. It's the ideologies that get out of hand that are dangerous.
@HOWARD BOYD it's all for control by employing hegelian dialectics to take away the few freedoms we have left. You're right about using both of them tactically.
Terrific and suspenseful film. Beware readers, there are lots of spoilers in these comments. Please folks, don't relate parts of the story in your remarks. Some people read them BEFORE watching the movie . . .
That was such a great movie! Thank you for the uploading.
Kinda sounds like now if you dare disagree with the government. People jump right on you and call you a narrow minded bigot.
It's the Trump cultists who want to use government to destroy..
Thank you so much for this. It helps give me perspective on the world as well as my little corner of it.
Francis Lederer did a marvelous job. Having to show such enthusiasm and admiration for the ultimate demagogue must have been difficult knowing what shmitler represented: hatred and murder. Incredible job.
Joan Bennett one of the most beautiful actresses of her time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
dian kreczmer I think you mean Hedy Lamarr. That is the beautiful lead actress in this film.
I thought so too but she's Joan Bennett... like twins!! Hedi has an accent also, didn't u notice that?😶🙋
Only Hedi L.had thee accent, not Joan B.
Much loverlier when she dyed her hair dark.
Constance Bennett (TOPPER), her sister was a better looking Blonde.
@@barb6868 Nope, Joan Bennett.
Isn't it amazing how so many people can be swayed into following, saying and doing things that they know in their hearts is so very wrong - of course many out of fear and that's a fact. Others who have no remorse, conscience, and want power and money will follow like dogs with their masters any master. This was written and acted very well. Instead of celebrating both cultures they denigrated one to use as blackmail - it did the job but at what cost to this German man who was able to be used and influenced so easily. Who said life was a bowl of cherries... Always enjoyed Joan's presence on screen. Thanks.
You seem to think this is over with
"What's the use of reading stuff when you don't know what to believe..."
True now more than ever June 2021.
If one is interested in the truth of life you might watch a movie. while if you seek some well-scripted acting look no further than the news. 📰
@@piggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy clowns in america news.
Superlative movie relevant to today's world. Thank you.
A great drama wonderful acting !
AMAZING MOVIE. HOW THE STRONG CONVICTION CHANGES SO QUICKLY WHEN IT TOUCHES SELF!
Excellent! Thank You for posting it.
Joan Bennett was one of the sexiest women to grace film. but back then. they were never allowed to play up that part of her. I always enjoy any movie she was in.
come on Benny Hinn. Sexiest? Try lauren Bacall or Linda Darnell
I too became a great admirer of her and watching all her movies one after the other
I like tho how Nolan’s character treats her in a very professional manner, without making a play for her or any sort of love interest. He helps her out as a friend and fellow American but by not trying to start something it shows her as a strong character.
59:20 "Any nation that doesn't know how to laugh is dangerous.'"
When was the last time a comedian did a college tour?
@T Z Don’t forget the “fear”factor.
There’s a pandemic happening- duh. No one’s doing tours
When was the last time a comedian was actually funny? They all think that they’re political humorists 🤣 They’re not funny at all just mean 😢
@@davidhull1481 Duh... touring stopped long before the Wuhan virus.
@@SBCBears Fake news.
Wonderful movie! Thank you for sharing.
Francis lived to be 100!
This film shows all the tell tale clues that Nazism was a cult, not a political party, and exposes the danger of allowing a cult to rise to political power. A sobering lesson for these times.
This movie was produced in 1940 not 1938.
Great movie
Thank you
I’m being sarcastic if anyone disagrees I come from old school these young rebels all went downhill. You think maybe the american culture would have learned something. Very sad when the government tells you what you can eat what you can drive where you should live. Sounds so familiar.
Excellent movie! Coming to "America in a Theatre" near you.
Terrific movie.
great movie , 10 stars i give it
This movie was a geat find for me on UA-cam. A good movie and history lesson at the same time. I like how it takes place in Germany and you see the buy-in of the German people. I read in the comments the movie was made in 1940 so a lot was already going on in Europe prior to U.S. involvement. The scariest thing is this could all easily happen again anytime anywhere. I visited Munich and saw its Nazi sites and the Dachau concentration camp in 2016.
And it was released two years before Pearl Harbor! Never again!
Excellent movie. Thank you.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Joan Bennett looks so much like Heddy Lamar in this film.
Brilliant film
Joan Bennett was just a dreamboat in every way
Love. Old. Movies. Blk. N. White. Provides. More. Drama. 🙄
I think Anna Sten was pretty hot for a '30's chick. 😄
Great movie! Totally recommend it.
Really excellent movie! The ending was great.
Great movie. I've seen it several times on UA-cam. You can't mistake Lamarr and Bennett, by the way. Lamarr could not fake an American accent. She was too European. (That's not a knock.)
This is likely a much more true story than we know multiple times over, ive heard of this happening to women marries to muslims they go for a "visit ", and she never gets her child back its so tragic that humanity turns against itself but it has been the story repeated over and over for thousands of years.
It happens here in America, when Obama changed the laws for his folks in 2008, children were taken from parents to make way for LGBT appropriations of children and to give his folks an easier time of losing theirs. I believe he will still face a military tribunal and get his just reward
@@michekids because of my faith i believe in Jesus and Gods Word, which clearly states that His Judgment on each of us is set to happen, even Christians like me will be judged as well, not because of the root of sin that is born in all of us,that separates us from God, but because of the Blood of Jesus by faith through believing in Him accepting Him and what He did for me and that He was raised from the dead for me, ive been forgiven forgiven that root of sin that separated me from God. I will be judged for what i did for Love with the right heart or wrong heart. Im confident that people who acted good but had evil in their heart Christian or not will get what they deserve even though Jesus did die for all to save all from that eternal place of punishment you hear referred to as hell, it is a real place and was only meant for satan and his crew of evildoers, but the unsaved will live out eternity there too as they have rejected The Son of God and His suffering for them. God doesn't "send" people to hell. God so Loved the world He sent His only Son that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WOULD BE SAVED ETERNALLY. I pray now your heart hears His voice calling you back to Him ❤😇
History; Is very capable of reliving it’s self . It has all ready many times already. Thank you.
at 1:10:27, Freda ( Anna Sten) looked just like Marlene Dietrich , in her facial expression .
A prophetic film.
Wonderful movie 🍿🍿I appreciate you thank you have a bless day 🙋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars
Very Good Movie!
Wow! Striking ~ . . . . how immensely disturbing that it relates the tale of today's world, with its eyes wide shut, and sleep walking. 😶
What a remarkable film for its day too.
Thank you, an important inclusion in the film archives. 👍💐
Love your profile name. Thanks for sharing. Am going to watch it tonight, here Monday afternoon in Indonesia.
This is what happens when people think they are ENTITLED, and no one else has any right to get in their way. I see it every day in stores, traffic and especially politics. 25Jun23
Updated to add 3-28-24....still and more
Great film the handwriting was on the wall in 1940. William Shirer knew it to bad no one would listen
I enjoyed this film thoroughly😊. Thank you for sharing it!
A product of the state and not an individual who is free
HI
The Bible calls it the ' Beast System' that Jesus/ Yashua will overthrow when He returns, soon. Shalom to you in Christ Yeshua.
The people in the USA should watch this movie. Then they will see how wonderful it will be when the government takes over. Soon it will be like this movie.
you mean in 2020 - it already has
Not if we stop the 4th reich aka clowns in america...everyone is pointing at the other side while they play both sides...just like the Bush family.
Please don't let history keep repeating itself.
'Gobbels favourite trick, making people discount facts'- wow history repeats itself.
There's the movie Not Without My Daughter, with Sally Field copied from this, except her husband was Arab and they went over to Lebanon but she had to kidnap her little girl back. He hid her, oh very drama, sad, action all in one! Very good
That movie was based on a book that supposedly tells a true story. I use the word 'supposedly' because there is controversy as to the facts. Even so the two movies are not related.
Field is probably kicking herself for showing Islam for what it is in that movie now.
@@DavidSmith-kd8mw Totally different films.
Daryl Zanuck alone among studio execs. wasnt afraid to tackle controversial social topics like this. Good for him--film could be agent for change. The subject, most unfortunately. is still topical. As Reagan said. "freedom isnt free"
Excellent movie bare facts without the propoganda nor onesided- ness bizarre and I can feel the stifled afraid and the airs intensity.
Such a good movie 👍
53:50. Flag right behind shows the swastika wrong. Deliberate? Or just an error during the making of this film? Very good movie. Listen closely to the dialogue. Really interesting.
Any Nation that doesn't know how to laugh is dangerous" "He won't be satisfied until he wipes the democracies off the map." "A child belongs to the state now", I find this movie terrifying
Terrifying but of historical importance.
Really enjoying the actors in this movie, Hedy Lamar a beautiful artist and my favorite actor Lloyd Nolan. Great movie.
Except this is Joan Bennett.
Love the profile name 👍🏻
I’ll be watching this film later this afternoon! Thanks for sharing
LOVE the name of your channel
It got me to subscribe!!
I was a liitle disturbed .. the TV telling us this the new normal ..like the father confined to the house .. I am receiving SMS reminders to stay home and keep safe ....this world is getting a bit scarey....
That’s their propagandized purpose...to scare you, to keep you afraid! Don’t be, there’s nothing now but a remnant of a plandemic that never should have happened. There’s a 99% survival rate for this flu, so get out of the basement, throw away your mask and go live your life! Tell these evil would-be dictators to go to _ELL!
Pray to God - the state is scary - new normal is about controlling every aspect of our lives
Good film!
