Enemy Of Women: Review

starstarstarstar
Strange, offbeat biography of Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels, played with monotone and cold-fish stare by Andor, who is shown as a struggling playwright in his youth. He is rejected by Drake, a novice actress, and this so incenses the lustful, vindictive Andor that he spends the rest of his twisted life (or the duration of the movie) trying to get even with her. During the so-called "Night of the Long Knives" (when top Nazis purged their ranks of enemies), Andor orders the death of Warner, Drake's father, among others on his "hit" list. Drake flees the Nazi scourge to marry Woods in Vienna but the long arm of the Nazis and Andor reaches out to ruin her life. She winds up in Berlin and is killed during an air raid, Andor wandering through the ruins of her death site. This is a weak effort by all concerned, a film produced by Minneapolis theater owner W.R. Frank, and haphazardly directed by Zeisler. Though it purports to show the inside life of the insidious Goebbels, little real research is in evidence other than headlines-of-the-day information. Andor and Drake are positively awful and the script is idiotic. Gurie, whom Samuel Goldwyn had tried to make a superstar a few years earlier in such films as THE ADVENTURES OF MARCO POLO, has no more than a minor role here in a Poverty Row production seldom seen, such had her star faded. The producers undoubtedly felt that the film's title would entice female patrons, but it didn't. Fleischer's stylish, expensive sets belie a Monogram production and provide the only noteworthy elements in an otherwise dull programmer. leave a comment
