Be Careful What You Pretend To Be American playwright, Howard W. Campbell Jr. (Nick Nolte) and his wife, beautiful German actress Helga (Sheryl Lee), are living in pre-World War II Berlin. Because of his status among the Nazis, a mysterious American (John Goodman) seduces him into becoming an allied spy within the Nazi Party. Campbell becomes a notorious spokesman for the Nazis' anti-American and anti-Semitic agenda, gaining celebrity in Germany and infamy in the States. Not even his wife knows of his clandestine spying and if apprehended, his ties to the U.S. will be denied. As the Reich crumbles, so does Campbell's life, beginning with the death of his beloved Helga. Escaping capture, and living back in America, Campbell's living hell unfolds as Nazi haters and sympathizers confront him. Campbell begins to struggle with his shocking past…is he a hero, a villain, or both? |
