Italians Goose Step for Hitler

Various shots of Adolf Hitler standing on a balcony with Benito Mussolini and King Vittorio-Emanuele (Victor Emmanuel) III and the Queen of Italy, watching a huge fascist parade moving along the streets of Rome. Male and female troops and groups march past; Hitler grins. A band of young men in uniform march along in a slow and low goosestep; Mussolini makes some kind of signal with his hands that commentator jokes means "If he doesn't do it right, chop his head off". Tanks move along past the Colosseum. Hitler and Mussolini go through a rather comical "After you Claude - No, after you Cecil" bit of business. It look like each is modestly acknowledging the roar of the crowds, while intimating that the glory belongs to the other.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
