Just one talking head, that's all. But the head in this mesmerizing documentary belongs to Traudl Junge, who spent her youth as girl Friday to the Führer.

Junge, who died last year at eighty-one, talks of her boss' soft voice, the fun he had with his dog, the genocidal rage he hid from her and the guilt from serving him that she can't shake.

    “He Will Break Your Heart”

    Jerry Butler | 1960

    A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
