Trivia:
Gregory Peck and The Big Country (1958) co-star Charlton Heston both played the infamous Nazi war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele: Peck in The Boys from Brazil (1978), Heston in My Father, Rua Alguem 5555 (2003). moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: Sweden has many mountains and hydro power plants. But, these look no way near the Alpine landscape and the curved concrete structure which are supposed to be in central Sweden in this movie. The only Swedish thing in this scene is the Volvo, but the license plates look more Finnish than Swedish and the tax sticker on the rear plate is completely wrong. moreQuotes:
Ezra Lieberman: You're not a guard now, madame! You are a prisoner! I may leave here today empty handed. But you... are not going anywhere. moreSoundtrack:

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.
