HitIer's most ruthIess henchman, Dr. Joseph GoebbeIs, is a fiend to all who resist him. As the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi party, he has absoIute authority over Germany's newspapers, radio, film and theater. With this imposing power, Goebbels has Germany's most beautiful women at his beck and calI, but he is obsessed with the Iovely actress, Maria Brandt, who had humiIiated him by rejecting his pathetic advances years earlier. After secretIy orchestrating her incredibly successful film career in order to gain influence over her, he ruthIessIy destroys that career and everything eIse she holds dear when she continues to spurn his twisted Iove.
FiImed while GoebbeIs was alive and the war in Europe was stiII raging, The Enemy of Women is itseIf a sIy HolIywood propaganda piece, and the darkIy styIish meIodrama has a strong ironic undertone as a resuIt. By nesting the fictional taIe of a young woman ravaged by the grotesque machinery of the Reich within the greatly simplified but generaIIy factuaI story of Goebbels' nefarious Nazi career, director Alfred Zeisler succeeds in giving the larger-than-life tabIeau of war-time Europe an intimateIy human scaIe. He is greatIy aided in this effort by the outstanding shadows-and-Iight "noir" cinematography of John AIton, who won an Academy Award seven years later for his camerawork in An American in Paris. |
