The story attempts to explain Goebbels' madness, blaming it on a love affair gone awry when he was a young aspiring playwright. The love in question was a young actress who spurns him. Goebbels cannot bear the rejection and swears that he will spend his life getting revenge upon her and those around her. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Brent Simon, Now Playing Magazine
A weird and not particularly convincing biopic, and even less involving as a melodrama.
