I've checked, and can't find it...

Adolf & Marlene (1977)
Directed by: Ulli Lommell
 
In this scandalous film, footage from Marlene Dietrich's early films is combined with documentary footage of Adolf Hitler, along with newly filmed dramatic re-enactments, suggesting that Dietrich was Hitler's secret mistress. Dietrich brought the filmmaker to court to prevent the release of this film, though it was quietly screened at the Cannes Film Festival before anything was resolved.

I've expended a lot of time and effort trying to find this film, and I've
gotten nowhere.

From researching around the net, and from the number of people who include Adolf & Marlene in their top 10 want-lists, I'd say you probably have as much chance as finding it as finding a copy of Jerry Lewis' The Day The Clown Cried.

But don't let that stop you.  The movie has a hell of an interesting premise.

P.S. I'll keep checking around myself. I enjoy being a cinema "detective", trying to locate hard-to-find films, even if  not for myself. So if I find any leads, I'll post them here.

Here's a review from 1977. Sounds like the movie was a not-too-successful attempt at satire.
