If they survive? will we? Barry Kohler is a young Nazi hunter on the trail of former SS officers who evaded justice after WWII. Led by the monstrous Dr Mengele, the group gathers in Paraguay with plans to establish new Nazi regimes all across the world. But what do the mysterious deaths of civil servants have to do with this plan, and what horrible secret lies in the identity of their identical sons? Based on the suspenseful novel by Ira Levin (Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives) and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton, Planet of the Apes), The Boys From Brazil was hailed by The Washington Post as "an impressive feat of carefully designed and modulated academic filmmaking, a class job in the tradition of Hitchcock or Wyler at their most polished". The film was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Actor for Laurence Olivier, who stars alongside Gregory Peck, James Mason, Denholm Elliot, Lilli Palmer, Rosemary Harris, and Steve Guttenberg. 1500 copies only.
