...never Hitler's mistress-though I was dazzled by him, like millions of other Germans. These are nothing but lies," insists Leni Riefenstahl, with thinning patience. As one of Adolf Hitler's favorite actresses and directors, Leni got her biggest break when the Führer told her to make a movie of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The film that resulted was a propaganda classic, but her career as a movie producer in the Third Reich eventually led to two denazification trials (she was cleared).

...fill them in for no more than $36,000-which he obeyed to the letter. "You are not going to get away with that sum for nothing," she added. "I expect to see you in Spain."

The best (and most virtuosic) shot in the film deals with that distinction: the "necktie murderer" who rapes, then strangles his victims, brings the hero's mistress to his room after already killing the man's wife. We travel with the pair to the door, but don't enter with them; Hitchcock dollies down the outside corridor, down the stairs and out to the street. Outside the bustle of the Picadilly marketplace continues, but our attention focuses...
