An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1973 release of “Hitler: The Last Ten Days”

A biographical drama film depicting the days leading up to Adolf Hitler's suicide. The film stars Alec Guinness and Simon Ward and features an introduction presented by Alistair Cooke; the original music score was composed by Mischa Spoliansky.

The film is based on the book Hitler's Last Days: An Eye-Witness Account (first translated in English in 1973) by Gerhard Boldt, an officer in the German Army who survived the Führerbunker.

The film opens with Hitler's 56th birthday, on 20 April 1945, and ends 10 days later with his suicide, on 30 April.

"Adolf Hitler: It's good fortune for the government that the masses don't think. Otherwise, human society as we know it might cease to exist."
