| CONVERSATION WITH THE BEAST | Germany |
 U.S. historian Arnold Webster spends ten days in Berlin interviewing a
man who says he is Adolph Hitler. According to this Hitler, Goebbels would have created
six doubles to keep him safe. With the fall of the Third Reich, his death was necessary so
that he might save his own life. And no one must doubt this death.He tells the historian how he managed to escape by assuming the identity of actor Andreas Kronstaedt, one of his doubles who died in his place. In Berlin he met a girl called Hortense whom he married. After this, every attempt to reassume his true identity failed, and he was eventually doomed to live out his days in a dark house with only his wife. Webster pitilessly questions this man to find out the truth behind the facts told by him with precision. Finally, Webster no longer knows whether he is talking to a mad man or to a brilliant impostor. His doubts only augment when, in Paris, he finds revealing proof of the man's identity. |
