I saw a bit of a Conrad Veidt film last night about a non-Nazi posing as his Nazi twin, but I think I came in a bit late for it to make complete sense.
I didn't realize he was doing anything with a double role; I'd have paid attention to that. The film I was sorry to have missed was Jew Süss (1934), the not crazily anti-Semitic version of the story. Later remade by the Nazis as some kind of milestone of appalling propaganda, but I don't quite feel the need to see it. The original is actually based on the novel.

Thank you!
