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.
