Enemy of Women (1944)

Monogram Pictures
Directed by Alfred Zeisler
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Roan Group)

Anti-Nazi propaganda from 1944 which portrays Goebbels as a womanizer who uses his position of power to get back at the only woman who resisted him. Claudia Drake plays Maria Brandt, the aspiring actress who Goebbels helps attain stardom with the hopes she will fall in love with him. Instead, she falls in love with a Doctor who befriends her father. They get married and live happily in Austria, but make the mistake of returning to Germany where Goebbels eventually catches up with them. The end result is closer to romantic melodrama than exploitation.
