Blowin the House Down


It was still difficult to get your head around the Hitler rallies. So many viewings; still a challenge. In some ways Benito was even more so. The footage for Bennie had been less voluminous, it didn’t get the same run. You had to guess the man had been a lesser force, less magnetic. The vaudeville seemed to be far more apparent in his case, all the strutting on the balconies, chin raised so absurdly high. What was that all about? Was it just a matter of the camera angle, taken from ground level? Jazz trumpeters went into that pose straining for the big blasts.
