I had the pleasure of viewing this film but once - at the old Davis Theater on Lincoln Ave. in Chicago. Though the memories are a bit faded - ( I recall it being around 1970 ) - it was an impressive bit of work, and quite controversial even back then. What most sticks in my mind is the wonderful Norbert Schultze score.
Schultze was a composer of some renown. During the Hitler years, he was eclipsed only by Herbert Windt, who wrote the music for Leni Riefenstahl's two masterpieces, "Triumph of the Will" and "Olympia". Some of Schultze's music used to be available on CD, including the Opera, "Das Kalte Herz".
