Review of The Boys from Brazil (1978) by Benjamin H — 04 Apr 2009
Far fetched, but compelling thriller, is based on the novel by Ira Levin about an aging Nazi hunter who uncovers a diabolical plot orchestrated by Nazi death-camp doctor, Josef Mengele. Seeing Laurence Olivier in an Oscar nominated role and Gregory Peck cast against type, is fun and they are surrounded by a solid cast.
Well edited film is consistently entertaining, if rather ludicrous.
