German film on Hitler's demise a box office hit
A German film about Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's final 12 days leapt to the top of the country's box office with nearly half a million tickets sold in its opening weekend.
The Downfall, a film starring Swiss actor Bruno Ganz, shows Hitler's diabolical nature as well as a softer side that is foreign to most Germans and attracted 480,000 viewers in its first four days - one of the strongest starts for any film this year.
