A remarkable woman. She had the potential to be one of the best film directors in the world had she not hitched her star to Hitler--then again, in 1930s Germany, that was the only way she could act and direct. The Nazis so tightly regimented culture that they controlled the cinema with an iron fist.
Besides, anybody who's going SCUBA diving and making underwater films in her freaking NINETIES has got to get some respect. :)

Way to apologize for evil.
Leni could have fled like most of the creative classes did. She loved Germany- even Nazi Germany. So she did her best work for the fatherland, and throughout her post war career she maintained she was justr an innocent artist, maybe just a bit naive.
I'm not buying those crocadile tears for a minute. The woman was pure evil.

"A remarkable woman." She was Hitler's stooge and friend. Why give her any respect?
