Trivia
Gregory Peck was upset by the extremely negative reactions to his performance. He later said, "I felt, Laurence Olivier felt, friends of mine like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon felt, that I was good in this part. Some critics seem unwilling to accept actors when they break what they think is the mold or the image."

Goofs
In the movie, the young clones of Hitler all have dark hair, but in real life his hair was never dark. As a young boy he was blond, and his hair became medium brown as he got older, as is the case with many blond children.

Quotes
Gertrud: [Mengele has just knocked Mundt to the floor] Get a doctor!
Dr. Josef Mengele: I *am* a doctor, idiot.
Gertrud: Don't you come near him!
Dr. Josef Mengele: Shut up, you ugly bitch.

Crazy credits
The 20th Century Fox logo is in black and white and does not have the fanfare playing over it.

Alternate versions
West German theatrical release as well as all subsequent German TV broadcasts and video/DVD editions were cut by 20 minutes for content. Only in 2007 the complete version was released on DVD.

Absorbing

Old veterans Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier and James Mason team up in this well-constructed and absorbing thriller. The plot sounded so bizarre that I had to check the film out. Although there is some choppy editing and cartoonish acting, "The Boys from Brazil" makes for a good viewing.
