Aryan Couple
Aroview: Mild World War II drama set in against the backdrop of The Euopa Plan in which in wealthy European Jews traded their riches and property in exchange for their lives. Martin Landau plays a wealthy industrialist bargaining for safe passage for his family but leaving behind his servants, the Aryan couple of the title.
Talky drama that makes a abrupt shift to thriller late in the piece, but too late to negate the preceding mediocrity. Landau gives a performance of quiet dignity and there's an outrageous scene involving Himmler and Eichmann arriving for dinner but the treacly ending doesn't seemed earned in the slightest.
