“Those of us, and that is practically all embracing, who would profit by seeing, close up, the genesis and spread of an ideological virus, would do well to see THE HITLER GANG.”
—The New York Times
The story of Nazism’s rise is a tale of brutality and strategic victimization of the weaker elements of society. In fact, it is almost like a mob movie. And that is the angle John Farrow takes in this film. We see the rise of Hitler and his minions through the prism of a Cagney gangster film. Chilling, effective, and (yikes) relevant. In 35mm.
