The Boys from Brazil

[HelterSkelter]

Great movie in case you haven't seen it.

Aging Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) must thwart a plan by surviving Nazi death camp doctor Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) to resurrect Adolf Hitler through cloning. Since shortly after World War II, Mengele has been hiding in South America. To make sure a new and powerful Fourth Reich is successfully launched, he summons a group of former SS officers in hiding along with three young Neo Nazis. The purpose: to kill 94 men in Europe, Canada, and the United States. Mengele's intention is to recreate the conditions that will bring at least one new Hitler into the world to lead the new Reich.

I had first read the book (which was a fascinating novel) and then saw the movie...which is good but not as strong as the book.

In reading the book it struck me that the author, Ira Levin, had a very over-active imagination likely caused by a reason I won't mention.

Apparently there is a new version of the film in production for next year. I guess Hollywood figures it hasn't made enough Darth Hitler movies yet.

[Money Shot]

I liked both book and movie.


Aren't they remaking it?
