Mussolini - The Untold Story

Mussolini: The Untold Story (Mussolini: Neispričana priča) je američka televizijska mini-serija snimljena 1985. godine koja prikazuje život italijanskog fašističkog diktatora Benita Mussolinija. Scenario, koji se temelji na memoarima Mussolinijevog sina Vittorija, je napisao Stirling Silliphant, a režiju potpisao William A. Graham. Naslovnu je ulogu tumačio ugledni američki glumac George C. Scott.

Serija se snimala u bivšoj Jugoslaviji te izazvala brojne kontroverze u tadašnjoj javnosti zbog optužbi da kroz prikaz Mussolinijija kao porodičnog čovjeka nastoji zanemariti ili ublažiti njegov zločinački karakter. U tome se posebno isticao SUBNOR, nazivajući skandaloznom činjenicu da se takav film snima u zemlji koja je stradala od Mussolinijevih fašista. Zbog svega toga nikada nije bila prikazana na JRT-u

Mussolini: The Untold Story was an epic television biographical mini series drama that aired in November 1985. The series followed the rise, rule, and downfall of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini played by U.S. actor (George C. Scott). Mussolini`s private life played prominently in the series, including his long-term romance with his mistress Clara Petacci (played by Virginia Madsen).

The series begins in 1922 as Mussolini gathers his power through the use of his Black Shirt militia. Promoting himself as Caesar reincarnate, Il Duce gains a national fervor that peaks after the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935. In 1938, Mussolini attempted to promote peace at the Munich Conference. Nonetheless, he aligned himself with Hitler. Mussolini drew Italy into World War II which led to his country`s decline, Mussolini`s fall from power, and eventual roadside execution of Mussolini and Petacci.

The Series was Nominated for 2 Primetime Emmy Award`s.
