An all star cast, headed up by Gregory Peck and Lawrence Olivier, makes this a great thriller about the cloning of Hitler. As others noted at the time this movie was made cloning was off in the future but as science makes science fiction reality, it ...

This is a really neat story and it makes a great movie! It's kind of difficult at times
to see Gregory Peck as the bad guy, but, it just takes some getting used to and he's
a "wonderful" bad guy! Ira Levin's stories always made great pictures-it's just ...

This movie has probably ended up playing the role of a "predictor" of events. When it was made, probably one could not have imagined that cloning or genetic sequencing would advance so rapidly. The evil Dr. Josef Mengele gathers all his Nazi cronies with ...

This movie presents a subject matter that was ahead of its time. The subject of cloning when this picture was made was science fiction. It presents with a strange feeling that it might be possible that it can occur. I wanted to see this movie again, ...

I don't deny the cheese factor here. What this is is a successful attempt by superb talents to make a delicious fondue of a film out of this trash novel. Olivier is marvellous as always from his accent to his look, timing, etc.. Peck seized the chance to ...

Great thriller. Saw it when it first came out years ago. When it came out (spoiler) no one had heard of cloning. I thought it was so far into the future. But look where science is now. WOW!
Besides the great acting, it repeats what horrors the wrong ...

This is a truly chilling film because it is based on real life people, real life events, and real world technology. It could have possibly happened, which makes it really scary. The film is excellent and I'm glad to have it on DVD. I have no ...

Ira Levin has an eye for evil. He knows man's avarice and his tendancy to misuse the skills he has developed. It was slightly sinister in "The Stepford Wives." It was dark and unnerving in "Rosemary's Baby."
In "The Boys from Brazil," Levin strikes an ...
