Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The script is based on the only surviving copy of the Wannsee Protocol, found in 1947. Most of the dialogue is verbatim from actual minutes.
Stanley Tucci researched Eichmann extensively, including his 1961 trial footage. His performance captures the 'desk murderer' Hannah Arendt dissected in 'Eichmann in Jerusalem.'
