To help get this controversial movie financed, producer/star John Cusack took no salary for acting in the lead role.
Writer/director Menno Meyjes reports that before the script was written, Steven Spielberg's Amblin company was interested in the project. But Spielberg told Meyjes he couldn't bring himself to help make a movie he thought would dishonor Holocaust survivors. Nevertheless, he considered the script an excellent one and encouraged the director to push for its realization, but without Amblin.
Noah Taylor would later play Adolf Hitler again on the TV series Preacher (2016).
Directorial debut of Menno Meyjes.
"Max Rothman: Hitler, come on. I'll buy you a glass of lemonade."
"Max Rothman: So you're an anti-Semite. Adolf Hitler: On the contrary, I admire the Jews. Max Rothman: Really? Adolf Hitler: Yes, they're very intelligent people. Max Rothman: Well, there are intelligent ones and not so intelligent ones... Adolf Hitler: No, no, no, they're all intelligent because they guard the purity of their blood. Max Rothman: The what? Adolf Hitler: The purity of the blood. Because the secret of the Jews lies in their pure Jewish blood. That's why they're the mightiest counterpart to the Aryan race. Max Rothman: What's the secret? Adolf Hitler: Is your father Jewish? Max Rothman: Yes, he is. Adolf Hitler: Mother? Max Rothman: Why not ask whether she's a German? Isn't that a far more relevant question? Adolf Hitler: Mensch! Of course your mom's Jewish. Max Rothman: You're an awfully hard man to like, Hitler, but I'm gonna try, because if I've learned anything over the past four years, it's that we all shit the same, scream the same, and die the same. Adolf Hitler: There's no need for vulgarity, Rothman. Max Rothman: I know where you've been and God knows we've all been turned into assholes there. Now listen to me well: you may not think you're an anti-Semite, but in fact you are. Adolf Hitler: I'm not. Max Rothman: But in this, as in all things, there's a reason. Your own hero Nietzsche said anti-Semitism is the ideology of those who feel cheated. Adolf Hitler: How do you know Nietzsche's my hero? Max Rothman: Because you've obviously skimmed his ideas. Adolf Hitler: Well, I don't feel cheated. Max Rothman: Excellent. Then stop acting like it. Adolf Hitler: Are you gonna smoke another cigarette? You just put one out. Max Rothman: Exactly. But now where is my instinct, my secret instinct for self-preservation, I ask you? I've heard these theories all my life: blood science, eugenics; it's rubbish. It's complete nonsense. It's kitsch. Put it out of your mind. It's not modern. It's not scientific. It will hold you back as an artist."
