The Bunker Summary
Director: George Schaefer
Genres: Historical Film
Rating:
This exhaustive (and exhausting) 3-hour TV movie dramatizes the last three months of Adolph Hitler's life, spent in his bunker in Berlin. Anthony_Hopkins is repulsively riveting as Hitler, while Piper_Laurie is even more frightening as fanatical Frau Goebbels. Joseph Goebbels (Cliff_Gorman) feeds the Fuehrer's ego as the Nazi empire crumbles, while Albert Speer (Richard_Jordan) defies him. The day before his suicide, Hitler legalizes his relationship with mistress Eva Braun (Susan_Blakely). The film's plot extends beyond the suicide, with the triumphant allied forces arguing over who has proprietary rights to Hitler's remains. First telecast January 27, 1981, The_Bunker was based on Joseph O'Donnell's best seller, which in turn was based on first-hand accounts. Hal Erickson, Rovi
