Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Chris Haskell I'm not sure what this picture was meant to be, but I'm going to give the director/writer/etc credit and say they meant it as a good time political action thriller comedy on a drive-thru budget. It is sort of those things, if you are willing to accept a very loose definition of the individual terms.Clever Plot? Not at all (actually confusing if you stop to think about it) Believable characters? Nope ... but just as I don't kick puppies I won't beat up too much on the merits of this lovable loser. It's goofy fun and doesn't take itself that seriously. Coming in just barely over an hour, it's not too much time out of your life, and I would say probably is worth it on the 'I"m just curious' dilemma surrounding all of these campy drive thru films. Rating: 16/40

lemon_magic I saw this one as part of the recently released "Gorehouse Greats" collection of public domain movies. I have to confess that the presence of this movie was my main reason for buying the package (admittedly, it was only $5 for 12 movies). I had always wondered what kind of goofy insanity could lay behind a title like that (at the time, I didn't understand the history of the film, so thanks to the intrepid posters here at IMDb.) I got my answer: "Madmen/Hitler" is a dopey, low budget B&W action and intrigue caper with a McGuffin Hitler head and a plot to devastate the world with "C-Gas". It appears to have been written by a committee of "Mens Adventure Magazine" hacks (think of the old "Argosy" covers) who were then censored and bowdlerized by the Better Homes and Garden Editorial Board, who took what should have been a juicy thriller and turned it into "Hugh Beaumont and Donna Reed Fight the Nazis on a bunch of sound stages in Mexico-land".Well, the cast goes through the motions, and there are a couple of decent character bits from some of the minor players, and there's at least one attempt at a Hitchcock style black-humor trope that sort of works. And Hitler's head does melt down real good at the end.This isn't the kind of film that makes you want to wash your eyes with broken glass...it's just kind of trite and misconceived. I suppose it was worth the price of purchase just to satisfy my long-standing curiosity about it, but don't you bother.

dbborroughs Scientist working a new nerve gas is kidnapped and taken to the title location where he is forced to help a bunch of Nazi's with Hitler's head under glass in their plans to take over the world. This is the shorter original version of the film with the infamous title They Saved Hitler's Brain. Running some 75 minutes the film was deemed too short for TV sale and an additional 20 minutes shot in the early 1970's was added. As it stands in its original version the film isn't quite as horrendous as the legend makes it out to be. The film certainly is enjoyable in a good bad movie sort of way, I mean how can you not enjoy the five foot tall ham bone playing Hitler prancing around and over acting in his sequences before he ends up as a head under glass? A perfect late night film, the film is better than its reputation, especially when freed of the almost unwatchable added opening. I think the reason the film has the poor reputation, and rightly so, is the concept of Hitler's head under glass is so incredibly stupid that it ruins any chance the film might otherwise have had. I kind of like the film in a twisted sort of way. Worth a look in this watchable form (The longer "They Saved…" is not).Between 6 and 7 out of 10 depending upon ones mood.

Athanatos The version of this film usually seen had some additional footage, shot about 5 years after the original, added to it. And, in addition, it seems to have earlier had some wrapping of this sort. It looks, in other words, like a film within a film within a film. Each wrapping made things worse, and the original was remarkably bad. But I must say that some of the lighting effects in the original are quite cool.
