Film was based on speculation with little fact.

This movie was a semi-documentary which really just presents the thesis of one author in his book. The movie even starts out saying that most historians think the theory is rubish, and even shows them saying so... and then proceeds to continue on to present this man's theory that Hitler was gay based on some very, very loose evidence (e.g., he once lived in a hostel where there also lived some male prostitutes -- from this we have the speculation: "Could Hitler have also been a male prostitue?"). Boring. Not well presented. In sum, skip it.
