Footage from Nazi propaganda films (including Leni Riefenstahl’s \u003cem\u003eTriumph of the Will\u003c\/em\u003e) is counteracted with images from Nuremberg trials and the liberated death camps, puncturing the myth of the Aryan Herrenmensch, revealiing the NSDAP leadership to have been little more than the typical autocrats, drunk on power, frolicking in banal luxury, and enjoying their brief moment of invincibility. Notorious exploitation producer Dwain Esper (\u003cem\u003eNarcotic\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eManiac\u003c\/em\u003e) acquired the film in 1972 and reshaped the judicious anti-fascist treatise into a frothing attack on all 20th-century despots, including Joseph Stalin. In addition to more bombastic narration, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCONFORM OR DIE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (aka \u003cem\u003eHitler’s Strange Love Life\u003c\/em\u003e) is ladled with unhealthy amounts of shocking footage (e.g. the mutilated corpse of Benito Mussolini) to hammer home its anti-authoritarian message. Viewer discretion is most definitely advised. This Kino Classics edition was mastered in 2K and 4K from the original 35mm negatives and several 35mm prints, compiling the most complete versions of these controversial but undeniably powerful anti-Nazi propaganda films.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"products__attributes hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hidden-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Extras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAudio Commentary by Film Historian Anthony Slide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAlternate “Stalin” Ending\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eConform or Die\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1973, aka\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHitler’s Strange Love Life\u003c\/em\u003e) a More Graphically Explicit Version Re-edited by Exploitation Filmmaker Dwain Esper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kino Lorber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45530045284396,"sku":"738329273910","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/will-it-happen-again-new-blu-ray-738329273910-9307188.jpg?v=1778462467","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/will-it-happen-again","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
