Okay, so someone made a film showing Hitler as the nut case which I have always alleged he was. Dressing up his dog in Nazi gear, etc.
The real outrage, of course, that it was not his dog, but his male lover whom he dressed in haute couture. This was considered perfectly normal in Nazi Germany.
And thus, when Tony Curtis said to Marilyn Monroe, in front of Billy Wilder, that her (breasts) counted for nothing; as his butt was cuter and that was where it was at nowadays, Curtis was presaging a norm which Germany embraced before the Holocaust and which America was fast embracing.
This is the kind of corruption and perversion which the film should describe. Anything else is mild deference to that savage monster.
