Mein Kampf is a 1960 Swedish documentary film about the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler, directed by Erwin Leiser. Distribution of the film began in 1959, and the film was a commercial success.
It was admired by George Seaton and William Perlberg, who saw it in Copenhagen, and they suggested Paramount buy it. The studio refused; the film was instead bought by Columbia for distribution in the United States for $50,000.[1] It grossed an estimated $1.45 million in the United States.[2]
