Please suggest title(s) of movies that are similar to The Debt; movies about fugitive Nazis/doctors and their hunters.
Any movies out there about Klaus Barbie, Mengele, Aickman, etc. ... ??
Thanks in advance!
For a fictionalized work try 'The Boys from Brazil' featuring Gregory Peck as Mengele and Laurence Oliver who plays a character named Ezra Liberman, who bares more than a passing resemblance to Simon Wisenthal.
There's also 'The Man Who Captured Adolf Eichman' featuring Robert Duval as Eichman and more recently 'Eichman' with Thomas Kretschman playing Eichman, although neither are very good in my opinion.
If you are interested in the subject and want to find out more then there are 2 very good series that were made recently called 'The Nazi Hunters'. One has been shown here in the UK on the BBC Yesterday Channel and is available on region 2 DVD on Amazon. This series is made up of about a dozen 45 min episodes. Each episode focuses on a different Nazi fugitive and the ensuring hunt for them with the use of narration and footage from the time.
The other series has the same title and is shown here in the UK on National Geographic channel, but I think it was made by the History channel. This is slightly different as it uses reconstructions expert analysis and in some cases the input from people who were actually involved in the hunt. I'm not sure if this series is available on DVD but there are some episodes of both series posted on youtube.
