Elsa I don't want to spoil the movie for future viewers. I'd just give several pieces of historical information to keep in mind before watching the film:During World War II, it wasn't an option to shut up and look German. Germany was notorious for keeping records of every person's family lineage for centuries. Changing your name was not a viable option to escape persecution.Excusing your not serving in the army with any type of disability equaled death, since there was a strict policy to execute people with disabilities.You couldn't bargain your way out of a concentration camp by offering money. All Jewish property was taken by Germany by law. If you happened to find an escape option, it wouldn't include a Nazi escort with fanfare.Hitler's ideology makes him highly unsuitable to sit and have a sophisticated dinner with a Jewish family. That's self-explanatory. The discipline and control among the Nazi soldiers was even higher than the control exercised over normal citizens. Please, remember this during the second half of the movie.Escaping as a Jew from Germany or any occupied territory was close to impossible. That why any survival stories are heart-wrenching and heroic. The person who wrote the script and directed the movie wanted a dramatic effect, but - it seems to me - was less interested in a historic research.I watched dozens of Holocaust movies and documentaries. I even watched a movie in which a girl opened the door of her home and was suddenly transported into the past of World War II. Even that movie had much more historical accuracy than this one. I find it insulting to treat such a serious and tragic subject with shallowness.

Claudio Carvalho In 1944, in Hungary, the wealthy Jewish industrialist Joseph Krauzenberg (Martin Landau) is forced by the Reichführer Heinrich Himmler (Danny Webb) to deliver his 3,000 employee factory; his palace with his collection of antiques and arts; a large amount in gold; and his house to the Reich. In return, the Nazis would send his big family that is arrested in Gestapo safe and sound to the neutral Switzerland and then to Palestine. Himmler schedules a dinner with Krauzenberg and his wife Rachel Krauzenberg (Judy Parfitt) to sign the contract and orders the butcher Eichmann (Steven Mackintosh) to not do harm to the imprisoned Jews relatives of Krauzenberg. Himmer also send the SS Edelhein (Christopher Fulford) to check the security of the palace and the two German house servants of Krauzenberg, Hans Vassman (Kenny Doughty) and his beautiful pregnant wife Ingrid Vassman (Caroline Carver). Hans and Ingrid are actually the Jews David and Leila Steinberg and members of the resistance. When the Krauzenberg couple concludes the negotiation with Himmler, Ingrid discloses to the couple that Hans and she are Jews. However, the deal is closed and Joseph has no means to include the young servants in his deal. "The Aryan Couple" is an engaging, thrilling and dramatic war super production. The story is suspenseful and uses magnificent locations and cinematography. Martin Landau is fantastic as usual and Ms. Judy Parfitt has the best lines confronting Himmler. Despite the use of English language even for the German soldiers, the performances are excellent. The realistic negotiation of Joseph Krauzenberg with the Germans to save his family and the corruption of Dresler are unusual themes in this type of war movie that is unfortunately underrated in IMDb. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Contrato Arriscado" ("Risky Contract")

joeboz53 This movie was entertaining, I think some people may have been confused between who Reich Furor Himmler and the Furor, Adolf Hitler were. As it was Himmler who was portrayed in this movie. I don't think you really need to be concerned with the accuracy of the historical accuracy, rather the story is what is well done and the fact that the Nazi's just took what they wanted from even the most powerful Jews - it's like the US Govt telling Bill Gates to sign over everything to them and they'll let him leave - it's messed up. I was entertained, but if you're looking for a Schindler's list type movie, this is probably not it. It's suspenseful, somewhat insightful and not totally predictable. It is a lower budget movie and was worth the time I took to watch it and I do recommend it.

sergeheyrman A very nice casting by good actors unfortunately they didn't speak German. I find it very hard to trow my self in to the movie knowing that a bunch of English actors with there Scottish accents are playing the part of a Fürher etc.But despite the fact the are English it was a very realistic movie with a flow of drama action and occasionally a bit of dark humor (not that I am a Nazi lover ore something).it's just a great family movie where you can think and talk about afterward and it stays in your head for a couple of days and you will probably have something like... hmm I am glad that i live int the 20 century A movie to watch or even to buy!
