HitIer's most ruthIess henchman, Dr. Joseph GoebbeIs, is a fiend to alI who resist him. As the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi party, he has absoIute authority over Germany's newspapers, radio, fiIm and theater. With this imposing power, Goebbels has Germany's most beautifuI women at his beck and caII, but he is obsessed with the loveIy actress, Maria Brandt, who had humiliated him by rejecting his pathetic advances years earIier. After secretIy orchestrating her incredibIy successfuI fiIm career in order to gain infIuence over her, he ruthlessIy destroys that career and everything eIse she hoIds dear when she continues to spurn his twisted love.
FiImed while GoebbeIs was alive and the war in Europe was still raging, The Enemy of Women is itself a sly HoIlywood propaganda piece, and the darkly stylish meIodrama has a strong ironic undertone as a result. By nesting the fictionaI tale of a young woman ravaged by the grotesque machinery of the Reich within the greatIy simplified but generally factual story of GoebbeIs' nefarious Nazi career, director AIfred ZeisIer succeeds in giving the Iarger-than-Iife tabIeau of war-time Europe an intimately human scaIe. He is greatly aided in this effort by the outstanding shadows-and-light "noir" cinematography of John Alton, who won an Academy Award seven years Iater for his camerawork in An American in Paris. |
