Gregory Peck hams it up big time in this 1978 thriller based on Ira Levin's bestselling novel. Peck plays an old German Nazi behind a mysterious series of murders, the investigation of which leads to an astonishing plot to create the Fourth Reich. Laurence Olivier is equally outrageous as a Nazi hunter who stumbles onto the scheme. Director Franklin Schaffner (Planet of the Apes) doesn't make any bones about the preposterousness of the story or of his legendary stars' performances, and a viewer is advised not to push too deeply into this tall tale for cautionary meaning. The film is a bit bloody--particularly unnerving in a climactic scene involving some attack dogs under the command of a young but familiar-looking monster. --Tom Keogh

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 makes the movie more powerful in having a basis for "What If?"
The DVD itself was okay in terms of picture quality and played well on my DVD Player and I did not find that it detracted from the movie.
Great acting, great story ... Read More

this is a good story but it was not the one I was looking for.

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 too
sad that he died recently. I loved this movie!

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 a view to creating 94 "little Hitlers" and killing their fathers in order to recreate the actual environment surrounding Hitler's boyhood. As they say, the final product is determined both by Nature and Nurture. Mengele's aim is to try and recreate ... Read More

Watching a film about human cloning now makes it seems not as far fetched as when this film was made nearly 30 years ago. It was a prescient film, the only part of which is beyond credibility now was the number of clones successfully produced. Olivier and Peck give great performances as does the scary clone. I was surprised to find it had an 18 rating. Perhaps it is all that cigarette smoking that the young should not see? It is certainly a film to make one support the banning of human cloning.
