synopsis
In this scandalous film, footage from Marlene Dietrich's early films is combined with documentary footage of Adolf Hitler, along with newly filmed dramatic re-enactments, suggesting that Dietrich was Hitler's secret mistress. Dietrich brought the filmmaker to court to prevent the release of this film, though it was quietly screened at the Cannes Film Festival before anything was resolved.
