Despite this movie being from 1973, then it is still enjoyable today, particularly if you have any interest in World War II.
However, and yes there is an however here, it was somewhat difficult to take the entire cast serious in the roles as Germans, as they spoke British English and just tossed in a German word here and there. For people of the Third Reich, British English seems a bit out of tune.
Aside from that fact, then the movie is entertaining and it does hold some pretty good performances by the actors hired for the various roles. Needless to say that Sir Alec Guiness is the one doing the most of the lifting in the movie with his performance.
There were some nice touches to the details, such as the uniforms and such.
If you are looking for a action-packed World War II movie, then "Hitler: The Last Ten Days" is not the best of choices, as there literally is no action here. This is a story-based movie that only takes place in the command bunker in Berlin from where Hitler ruled supreme and saw his vision of a Third Reich crumble up until he took his own life. "Hitler: The Last Ten Days" offers more of an insight into the person who was Hitler, and into his utopian visions of one Reich.
The dialog in the movie is quite good, as is supposed to be rather historical accurate, if so, then that is impressive. But again, the British accent just completely threw the movie off course and down a notch in entertainment value. But for a 1973 movie, "Hitler: The Last Ten Days" did quite well.
