Hitler in Hollywood?: A British satellite television station plans a comedy series on the home life of Adolf Hitler, his lover Eva Braun and their Jewish neighbors. A pilot episode of the show, which plans to air next year on British Satellite Broadcasting, drew some criticism and changes were made. “Some people felt that the portrayal of Hitler was, for example, inadvertently too sympathetic. In the series he will clearly come off the loser in the domestic disputes,” said John Gau, director of programs at the station. Instead of being set in 1930s Berlin, Hitler lives in 1960s Hollywood.
