The Boys From Brazil


Peck and Olivier star in this weird drama about cloning - In this case, the evil Dr. Josef Mengele, who conducted sadistic human experiments in Nazi death camps, is on the loose in South America with a scheme to produce 94 copies of Adolf Hitler.

Mengele is played by Peck; Olivier plays a Jewish Nazi-hunter. 

There are moments of suspense here and there, but the shaky story, based on Ira Levin's best-selling novel, lapses into silliness.
