Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Marlene Dietrich's cool, realistic narration of a disgraceful tale adds a new dimension to the often told details of Hitler's rise and fall. As a German and a contemporary of the Fuhrer's, she is well qualified to tell the story, and her measured tones do a great job of expressing the inexplicable nature of this so-recent piece of history. I appreciated the way she confronted her fellow countrymen's acceptance of this criminal; her references to myth and legend, along with the eerie music, are most atmospheric. The archival video and stills are clear and not cliched.

BLACK FOX is the story of the most feared and fanatical national leader in all history. His bitter boyhood in Austria. His frustrated ambition to be an artist. His four years of soldiering in the First World War. His ruthlessdrive to power in a defeated Germany. His cold and hot wars of conquest against all of Europe...and against the German people. His death by his own hand in an underground bunker in smoldering Berlin. BLACK FOX is a revealing film story of Adolf Hitler's ambition, his passion, his demonic will, his million-fold murders. The picture is also a study in-depth of those tragic rivers of history which made Hitler's rise possible and which came to confluence in an apocalypse of 50 million dead and a large part of the world in anguish and ruin. Narrated by Marlene Dietrich, this video won the 1962 Academy Award for best Documentary Feature.Based in part on the 12th century folk tale "Reynard the Fox," as adapted by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Music composed and conducted by Ezra Laderman for the New York Chamber Orchestra and The Julliard String Quartet
