Hitler - The Rise of Evil (CBS/Alliance Atlantis)

Hitler: The Rise Of Evil is a TV miniseries that aired in two parts in May 2003 on CBS, and was produced by Alliance Atlantis. The film explores Adolf Hitler's rise and his early consolidation of power during the years after World War I and focuses closely on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted German society after Word War I made that ascent possible. Also central to the plot is the influence that Ernst Hanfstaengl had on Hitler's rise to power. The subplot of this film follows the struggles of Fritz Gerlich, a German journalist who opposes the rising National Socialist German Workers Party. He is portrayed in the role of a martyr to fulfill the essence of the quotation attributed to Edmund Burke, which is displayed at the beginning and at the end of the film: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." 2 Episodes - 16 Parts Cast: Robert Carlyle as Adolf Hitler Stockard Channing as Klara Hitler Jena Malone as Geli Raubal Julianna Margulies as Helene Hanfstaengl Matthew Modine as Fritz Gerlich Liev Schreiber as Ernst Hanfstaengl Peter Stormare as Ernst Röhm Friedrich von Thun as Erich Ludendorff Peter O'Toole as Paul von Hindenburg Zoe Telford as Eva Braun Terence Harvey as Gustav von Kahr Justin Salinger as Dr. Joseph Goebbels Chris Larkin as Hermann Göring James Babsen as Rudolf Hess Patricia Netzer as Sophie Gerlich Harvey Friedman as Friedrich Hollaender Nicole Marischka as Blandine Ebinger Julie-Ann Hassett as Angela Hitler Thomas Sangster as Hitler age 10 Simon Sullivan as Hitler age 17 Robert Glenister as Anton Drexler Ian Hogg as Alois Hitler
