It is Mengele's intention to reproduce Hitler not only genetically but in terms of his upbringing, as the boys created from the cells are to grow up in environments as close as possible to the Fuhrer's.
In 1943, with Rome occupied by the Nazis, Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty (Gregory Peck) does all he can to help Allied POWs, providing them with hiding places and assisting them in their flight from the Germans.

A sprawling epic tracing the fortunes of several generations of an American pioneer family as they move West and cope with the Civil War. The film's several sections were made by different directors, including Henry Hathaway and John Ford.

Gregory Peck gives an Oscar-winning performance as lawyer Atticus Finch in this crime drama adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee. In Alabama in the 1930s, Atticus defends a black man accused of raping a young white woman while his children, Scout (Mary Badham) and Jem (Phillip Alford), play in the street. The controversial nature of the trial, taking place in the racist culture of the Deep South, leads the local townsfolk to turn against Finch and sees his family become the victim of a series of terror attacks. As well as Peck's Best Actor statuette, the film won another two Academy Awards with an additional five nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Badham).
This terrifying thriller is based on Ira Levin's best seller in which Dr. Josel Mengele (Gregory Peck), alive and living in South America gathers a group of former Nazis to work on a mysterious project. Ezra Lleberman (Laurence Olivier), begins to unravel the conspiracy and discovers that Mengele has cloned 94 young Hitlers. Suddenly the terrifying extent of Mengele's plan is revealed: twisting genetic science to become a new weapon of global horror.
Fresh out of prison, the sadistic Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) determines to have his revenge on Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck), the lawyer who sent him away. But Cady is smart. He sticks to menacing Bowden's wife and teenage daughter with obscene phonecalls and implied threats, and never does anything which would give the police the right to arrest him. It is therefore Bowden who, in order to protect his family, must go beyond the confines of the law and seek to engage Cady in a direct confrontation. Famed for Mitchum's sinister performance and Bernard Herrmann's atmospheric score, 'Cape Fear' is one of the great classics of the late studio era. It was remade by Martin Scorcese in 1991.
