Well worth seeing for magnificent acting of Alec Guinness as a decrepit Hitler
Interesting to compare to Downfall
Having seen Downfall, the later film, first, this looks like a re-make of it in many respects. But there are key differences, this takes a moral view on Hitler, whereas Downfall is more matter of fact, this film is almost exclusively in the Bunker, whereas Downfall shows a bit more of what is happening outside, and some of the details they focus on are different - perhaps reflecting the 30 years additional research since this film was made. If you liked Downfall, you'll find this interesting, but there isn't that much new or different here.
