I don't think I've ever seen it 99% of it. Kind of boring the first time it was on TV, and I never had a desire to watch it after that.

Does it involve transvestites? The description on the TV Guide Channel says something about trannies in Rio.

My assumption was that it was a bunch of aging Nazis in South America trying to clone Hitler. Where do the transvestites
come in? Cloning is a bit more recent, rather than some guys trying to boost the [large] woman's apparel sales.

(Yeah, I know, the movie's about 30 years old, iirc)

THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL

Ira Levin's best-selling novel is the basis for this incredible film about the perpetuation of a new race of Hitlers. Peck portrays the real-life Nazi doctor Mengele who is pursued by Olivier, a Jewish Nazi hunter. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Actor--Laurence Olivier.

"This movie has some exceptional acting talent -- Gregory Peck as an aging, obsessive Josef Mengele; Laurence Olivier as aging Nazi hunter, James Mason as an exiled Nazi leader and a fine supporting cast. The plot is one of the sickest ever. Dr. Josef Mengele has continued his sadistic experiments holed up in Paraguay, surrounded by fawning fellow Nazis. He has devoted his post World War II life to cloning Hitler (from a vile of blood drawn and skin scrapings taken shortly before Hitler's suicide). The 99 dark-haired, blue-eyed boys resulting from this work have been adopted into families around the world whose socio-economic profiles match that of the historical Hitler."



Cast: Gregory Peck, James Mason, Laurence Olivier, Lilli Palmer, Uta Hagen, Steven Guttenberg
