    I dont have much time to list a bunch of stuff but, if you want to know a few who played "Dolfie" in a few good movies-try these on for size.

    The Winds of War and War and Remembrance mini-series.
    Hitler-with Richard Basehart as Dolfie.
    The Last Ten Days?

    There are others but I just dont have time to list.

    Robert Carlyle in Hitler: The Rise of Evil. He's better known for The Full Monty, which gave me visions of naked dancing Nazis and strategically placed swastikas.....

    Without doubt the best "parody" of 'dolf was done by Charlie Chaplin, followed closely by Moe Howard.

    I'm not surprised they would be "not his favorite" actors after he was lampooned. I also always thought Curly made a great "Mussolini" as well in that skecth. Didn't You Natz Spy come out before Chaplin's The Great Dictator?

    I wonder if Adolf had much time for watching comedies after 1940 really, I know he was a great fan of American movies, like Gone With the Wind and ran it over and over.

    Nothing like Hynkel and Napoloni in the Great Dictator
