Given the machinations of modern-day advertising, it is difficult to place oneself back in the 1940s and to try to understand why this film was ever considered to be the height of sophistication in propaganda. I suspect that the desire to claim victory over an evil and highly dangerous enemy after the war had a great deal to do with it.Leni Riefenstahl has a great reputation as a film maker of propaganda, but so does Eisenstein, and Eisenstein did it twenty years earlier. Today's viewer is still overwhelmed by Eisenstein's genius, while Leni Riefenstahl's work is dated and often silly.
