"Plot to Revive Hitler" movies -- earliest?
As some of you know, I'm a big "Man from U.N.C.L.E." fan. Now that the DVDs are out, our Yahoo! group is having a grand time dissecting the episodes.
In an early B & W episode, a former Nazi scientist is revealed as having Adolf's body preserved in a cold sleep tank (though the name is never mentioned, it's pretty clear who it has to be) -- in his basement, yet. Now I know this is pretty old-hat to us now. My question: What was the earliest use of the Der Fuehrer Is Not Dead/Has Been Preserved plot in movies or on TV? I suspect U.N.C.L.E.'s use of the idea (1964) might have been the first ever on series TV. Anybody know? .

Don't know if it's the earliest and I wouldn't call it a favorite, but it pre-dates your 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' epsode. The 1963 grade-Z Sci-Fi flick 'They Saved Hitlers Brain', AKA 'Madmen of Mandoras', featuring Hitler's head kept alive under glass! A Mercedes Adenauer 300 limo costars as the conveyance for the title character.
Happy Motoring, Mark

The only one similar at all that I remember is "the boys from brazil". Didn't mengele have a bunch of Hitler progeny stashed in Brazil in that one?
Gregory Peck could do a good job as a bad guy too. Tom W

"They Saved Hitler's Brain" -- just in case
Quote:
Conceivably one of those SF anthology shows, like "One Step Beyond," "Twilight Zone," or "Outer Limits" might have tried it. .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He's_Alive_(The_Twilight_Zone)
This is the closest thing to your subject that I could come up with in the Twilight Zone episodes. I remember this one well and it was excellent like all of Serling's works were. Tom For some reason, the link is not picking up the ) on the end of the string. Add the ")" at the end of the word "zone" and it should work.

"He's Alive"
I don't recall that one; I'm old enough to have seen a lot of the TZ episodes in first-run, but I recall almost none of the hour-long shows, and those don't usually show in syndication.
Dennis Hopper, huh? It's easy to forget that he didn't just pop up when he did "Easy Rider" -- I saw him in a "Rifleman" episode a year ago, and he did a lot of other TV before his turn in that movie. .
