THE DAMNED (1969)

LUCHINO VISCONTI

Plot

In the early days of Nazi Germany, a powerful noble family must adjust to life under the new regime. The transition from democracy to dictatorship is dramatized through the lives of the family with such characters as the Baron, a child molester, a Nazi Storm Trooper, an innocent man framed for murder, and a Captain in the German SS. "Damned" shows how the German upper classes first resented Adolf Hitler, then accepted him, and at last embraced him. Made in English.
