    • Trivia
      This film was first purchased for telecast in New York City in mid-1948 by WPIX (Channel 11), as part of their newly acquired series of three dozen Hal Roach feature film productions, originally released theatrically between 1931 and 1943, and now being syndicated for television broadcast by Regal Television Pictures. However, no record of WPIX ever showing the film has been found. Its earliest documented telecasts took place in Chicago Thursday 31 March 1949 on WBKB (Channel 4), in New York City on WJZ (Channel 7), who picked up the Roach package after WPIX was finished with it, on Tuesday 16 August 1949, and in Detroit Monday 28 November 1949 on WXYZ (Channel 7).

    "Nobody does anything for Adolf unless Adolf does it for Adolf."
    Hell's Board of Directors wants to replace the Devil (Alan Mowbray) with Adolf Hitler! The Devil has to prove that Hitler isn't fit to rule Hell, so he sets out to get Hitler to commit one good deed. What a bizarre curio this is. It's all broad slapstick poking fun at Hitler, as well as Mussolini and Suki Yaki. Sensitive types will no doubt find it in poor taste. That didn't bother me. I just thought it was pretty corny. I did find the weird premise interesting. Just not that funny. If you enjoy WW2 films and shorts, and I assume you do or you probably wouldn't be watching this, then you should find this one interesting. Just don't expect to laugh a lot.
