About this deal

Essentially, the same as the German trailer but of better quality and with an American voiceover and English language dialogue. Whether this edit was created by the German distributor or its US counterpart I can’t say for sure, but according to the IMDb, the film was first screened in Germany almost a year before it’s limited USA release, so draw your own conclusions.

Hanussen’s sympathies found favor at the very top of the Reich. At the height of his fame in the 1920s, he met Hitler in the restaurant at the Hotel Kaiserhof, where the Führer had taken up residence. With his Jewish name abandoned and his officer friends endorsing him, Hanussen had no reason to arouse any suspicions. By some accounts, he conferred with Hitler a dozen times between 1932 and 1933, evaluating the bumps on his head, reading his palms, and reassuring the dictator that his rise to power was inevitable. When in-person meetings were difficult, the two spoke on the phone. floor second assistant director: dailies, second unit / third assistant director: second unit (as Luke Kimble) / third assistant director: second unit This is a dark comedy but is equally a deeply dramatic story, involving the mainly secular Jews of Berlin. Included is interaction between Breitbart, an attractive stage musician Marta, their boss Hanussen, who abuses her, and some very top level Nazis. Ultimately Breitbart becomes disgusted and dismayed. The reason for Hanussen's murder by the Nazis, for whom the revelation of the fire in advance was too dangerous.) His name was Karl Ernst Krafft, and at the start of November 1939, he wrote a letter to his friend Dr. Heinrich Fesel, who worked for Heinrich Himmler. Hitler would be in danger, Krafft warned, between November 8 and November 10. Krafft said Hitler should cancel every public appearance.

Gordon, Hanussen, 252. After the Nazis came to power, Cannon (and maybe Crowley) helped Thoma emigrate to Britain. Hanussen seemed at the peak of his power. He wasn’t just associating with Nazis, he was one. Even his trusted secretary, Ismet Dzino, was a Party and SA man. In addition to being the favoured soothsayer of the new regime, he was about to open his opulent Palace of the Occult. The Capital’s elite clamoured for invitations. But there was trouble brewing. His tilt to the Nazis earned Hanussen the enmity of the Communist press which had published proof of his Jewish ancestry. Hanussen did his best to brush off the matter and his Nazi pals like Helldorf remained steadfast, for the time being anyway. This version of Erik Jan Hanussen seems to be more in line with both Erich Ludenorff and Paul von Hidenburg as a replacement as Wilhelm's advisors as in reality Hanussen wasn't an adviser but a performer and wasn't active until after the Great War had ended, only then was he a prominent figure in Germany who rubbed shoulders with the military. On the syndicated television show Ebert & Roeper, Ebert's co-host Richard Roeper was also enthusiastic, calling the film, "A tremendous piece of work." [2] There was a secret office in Berlin with the letters “SP” on the door. The letters stood for “Sidereal Pendulum,” and inside, Nazi psychics were using magical pendulums to find warships. [6]

Despite his Semitic origins, Hanussen had extremely close ties to the Nazi party, especially since his fateful augury that Hitler would somehow become Reichschancellor. He had lent hundreds of thousands of marks to high-ranking leaders of the Nazis, like Hermann Goering, and held IOUs from them. He had befriended Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, the sadistic, depraved commander of Berlin's SA, and referred to Hitler as "my pal Adolf." Certainly, Hanussen could have had inside information of a Reichstag plot. Or perhaps he was even more directly involved.

In the midst of the war, Steinschneider went AWOL to give psychic performances in Vienna. To keep the army from discovering his disappearance, he did not perform under his real name; his manager cleverly invented the name under which he would perform, Erik Jan Hanussen. With it he became a Danish noble, achieving enormous popularity with his hypnotic performances and selling out large venues throughout Germany and Austria. Extending his ambitions further into the future, CinemaBlend also learned what the co-writer/director has in mind for the full story of The King’s Man half of the Kingsman Cinematic Universe. A logical progression of the idea espoused above, Matthew Vaughn is excited for the future of his historical experiment. Should this latest entry be successful, here’s where the game plan will ultimately lead: Gauding, Daniela. 2006. Siegmund Sische Breitbart: Eisenkönig, stärkster Mann der Welt: Breitbart versus Hanussen. Teetz: Hentrich & Hentrich. A fundamental problem in dealing with Hanussen pre-1920s is that most of what is known about him comes from a single source, his 1930 autobiography, Meine Lebenslinie (“My Lifeline”). To call it self-aggrandising is an understatement, though it seems accurate enough as regards time and place. The author dances around the matter of ethnic origins, stating that he was born in Vienna (true), not in Denmark, Sicily or Tarnopol, the latter a largely Jewish town in the far reaches of the old Empire. 12 If he is to be believed, his psychic powers first manifested in the womb, when he willed his unwed parents to marry. 13 The name in the quote is "Hamissen." This is apparently a typographical error, since in the same sentence the name is subsequently spelled correctly two times as Hanussen. In the 1972 reprint of the document by New American Library, the name "Hanussen" is spelled correctly. See Walter C. Langer, The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report, p. 40, New American Library (1972).

It really differs in style from the other two: Where the first two were unrestrained and fun, this one takes itself more seriously than I would have liked. There is a huge drop off in humor compared to the other two, and when the movie does attempt to be funny it falls flat. The lead protagonists are very admirable and responsible people, so much so that they are also a little boring and their dialogue is at times corny. With the exception of Rasputin, the cast as a whole is fairly bland. There are a couple of memorable fight scenes, while others are more cliche. The movie also tries to do a lot and is rushed to get everything done in a film that feels a little long. Reportedly, there were numerous meetings between Hanussen and Hitler. It's said that it was Hanussen who taught Hitler his crowd-control techniques, such as using dramatic pauses and gestures. He even predicted the Reichstag fire in February 1933, a key event that led to Hitler seizing ultimate power in the same year. On May 10, 1941, Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess left Nazi Germany and flew to Scotland on a mission to make peace with the Duke of Hamilton and the British government. It was an act of high treason against Hitler, and people around the world puzzled over why he’d done it. Gutberlet regularly boasted that he had, in the words of one Nazi, “the power to sense at once the presence of any Jews.” [2] He would dangle a pendulum in the air and ask it if someone was Jewish, believing that the direction it spun would expose any secret Hebrews.

The Vienna Polizeidirektion, with which he remained connected, was involved in intelligence and counterintelligence activity. 36 Finding out what was on the mind of native son Adolf Hitler would have been a high priority. Hanussen, again, could have been a very valuable source of information. With this section, I’d love to go through every decade of history, showing the history of espionage, the events, and how was Kingsman evolving. The idea of doing a Kingsman set during the Cold War even gets me excited.

It was too late. The charge was discovered by Nazi officials, who now had every reason to doubt Hanussen’s blood. It was ambiguous enough that he wasn’t ostracized immediately, but the small talk among officers was grave: They were in debt to a Jewish man. Hanns Horbiger developed his theory after noticing that the Moon was made out of ice, which is a bad start for any scientific theory. He said that he then went to bed and had a dream about the dawn of the universe. When he woke up, in his own words, he “knew that Newton had been wrong” about gravity. [5]My personal feeling is that all the evidence points to the fact that at the very least Hanussen was involved or he couldn't have known about it. Unless you believe in clairvoyance, which I don't. The other story is why he was killed. That is, he had to be eliminated because he knew too much," says Gordon. Whatever his occult abilities, Hanussen was a clever, unscrupulous and venal character who insinuated himself into the confidence of important people in Germany, and elsewhere. He clearly had a talent, one way or another, for obtaining secret information. His currency as an informant only increased when he gained access to Hitler. All this made the phony Dane an asset that any intelligence agency would have been anxious to exploit. This fine effort comes from the Austrian director Istvan Szabo and actor Klaus Maria Brandauer who previously collaborated on the acclaimed Mephisto (1981) and Colonel Redl (1985). Also on board is Erland Josephson who had a previous encounter with stage hypnotists in Ingmar Bergman’s The Magician/The Face (1958).
