May 11th     
Inside the Third Reich**      

(US TVM 1982)

The experiences of "Hitler's architect" Albert Speer during the 1930s into World War II, who penetrated into the Fuehrer's inner circle.
Consistently interesting and occasionally illuminating subjective take on oft-told history, restrained to some extent by its TV mini-series budget (and truncated in this version to 195 minutes), but at its most intriguing in the scenes between Speer and Hitler. The rest of the time the star cast occasionally bring lustre to their roles.
