Captivating
I rented this movie several years ago and loved it! It's based on a true life story of a top American journalist stationed in Berlin during Hitler's rise to power. He is on to Hitler and the rest of the Nazis very early and tries to warn people in the U.S. When war does eventually break out, the reporter is a thorn in Hitler's side. The Nazis chase he and his wife around Europe, but he keeps escaping their grasp. I can't tell you more without spoiling the movie, but I've been trying to buy a copy of this movie for years. It lasts over 3 hours, but is so exciting that it doesn't seem that long. Enjoy!

Review of The Nightmare Years
I have been a fan of Mr. William Shirer for many years and have read about his correspondence during the Nazi regime in Germany. This video compliments highly his views and the condition of the people very well during those years. Being a newspaperman he is critical and imaginative comparing Germany before and after the Nazi's.

Why Not Mention the Star/
If this is the movie I think it is - and the cover of the VHS shown on the Amazon site - I don't
understand why the star - Sam Waterston - was not mentioned as the lead and the person who played
Shirer? this is an excellent and classy production aand fascinating becaus true.
