Low budget movie with no shots of outdoors. Everything is shown inside of a hollywood studio room shown as a bunker with steel doors. Everything about this movie is fanasty, and not at all accurate. I really had to laugh at during the last moments of Hitler's life, he calls his wife a bitch. This movie sucks so bad that I actually was very pissed off I actually paid money and my time to watch this. It really ticks me off that people are paying money 35 years later, to the people that produced this crap!

Alec Guiness as Hitler is amazing, the events are truly as history dictatesfor as much is as really known. Even the deterioration of Hitler's mind & body as his General's celebrate. Eva Braun's character is wonderful as she soothe's Hitler on his b'day & entertain's the faithful in the final days is outstanding as history is speculative for the most part here. Guiness outshines even Anthony Hopkins in the remake & if you want to see a more shining performance, get this older version of the final time up & to the suicide even to softer side of Hitler as he shows his true love for Eva & her faithfulness to him & her complete lack of knowledge & care of his evil nature. A true dipiction of Hitler's failure to recognize Germany's doom. A must see.

Burdened by old film clips that we've seen millions of times in the past, as well as by stereoptyped portrayals of Hitler and his companions. Hence the viewing experience is essential boring and unexciting, despite the explosiveness of the content. Updated versions of this apocalyptic period give much better and more nuanced portrayals. For example--"Downfall"-- if you can tolerate subtitles.

Defiantly cast against type, Alec Guinness transforms "Hitler: The Last Ten Days" (1973) into a strangely compelling cinema of the absurd. When considering the claustrophobic madness of those final days in April 1945, director Ennio De Concini's surreal approach works better than expected. Speaking with a grandfatherly British accent, Guinness offers an eccentric yet mesmerizing interpretation of Adolf Hitler - punctuated by striking close-ups that emphasize the German ruler's charismatic evil. Individual sequences evoke the perverse quality of a two-reel comedy, especially Hitler and Eva Braun's suicide pact and its reaction from the Führer's inner circle. Despite its erratic tone and pacing, "The Last Ten Days" is worth seeing for Guinness' admirably off-kilter performance.

I saw this once long ago and again recently to compare with: "The Bunker" and "Downfall" (A/K/A Der Untergang). Of the three, it is by far the worst. Hitler is one dimensional and over the top in presentation; his dialogue is generally made up of cobbled together verses from his speeches. Many of the Bunker principle players are missing. It really is dated and does not measure up next to "Downfall"; especially if one has read more then Hugh Trevor-Roper's book on this subject. I do give them credit for being the first to take on this subject. However, don't think you are watching history unfold in this movie; especially at the end when there is a fictional "soap opera" turn of events as Eva Braun and then Hitler commit suicide.
