"I Wish You Love" offers a time capsule of Miss Dietrich's legendary stage act. The television special was taped in London over two days and later edited to a one-hour concert version. Dietrich wasn't pleased with the final result, saying that it "ain't as good," not on a par with her usual exellence. Still, if this late Dietrich concert doesn't show the diva at her most brilli...

米哈依尔·罗姆通过16章节的纪录片《普通的法西斯》，探讨了深刻的主题：“我们该如何揭示历史的秘密？德国法西斯主义如何渗透到千百万德国人心中，腐蚀其灵魂、疯狂其理智的？”另一位导演康拉德·沃尔夫对此片赞赏不已。影片各个章节的副标题也都意味深长，例如“我的奋斗”、“被宰杀的羔羊”、“残忍的梦想与行动”、“元首指挥我们前进”和“纳粹的艺术”等等。为了说明每个标题的含义，影片运用了大量史料镜头，是苏联红军从帝国电影资料库中缴获的资料或是从德军战犯手中没收的个人收藏。通过运用蒙太奇的剪切组合，罗姆将历史场景和现代画面巧妙结合起来，并加入儿童的元素，使得影片非常引人入胜。人们今天观赏这部影片的感觉与它1965年首映时别无二致。
