The German Doctor



Jean, This is a movie about some of the "missing years" of the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele while he was hiding n Patagonia, Argentina in the early 1960's. He stayed with a family who were not aware of his true identity. It is a short but quite interesting and chilling story. The Spanish actor who plays Mengele, Alex Brendlemuhl, is just excellent in his portrayal. It is shot in many of the actual areas of Argentina which adds a lot to the atmospherics of the film. They also show his many medical journals that he kept during his medical experiments and observations.  I enjoyed it ,even if it was only about one hour and one half.  Dad
