** The same can also be said for Creator/LaurenceOlivier. Only two years after his Oscar-nominated performance as Christian "Is it...Safe?" Szell in Film/MarathonMan, and famously torturing Creator/DustinHoffman, Olivier plays the aged, and weak, but determined, Nazi HUNTER Ezra Lieberman, hunting Mengele in this film. Making this even more ironic is the fact that Szell in the prior film was actually based off of Mengele himself, so Olivier goes from playing an Expy of Mengele to the polar opposite character of a Nazi hunter out to stop him in the span of only two years.
