The US title for this film is simply the couple, but adding the word Aryan creates a plot point and I think it works better. We're supposed to think this film is about the young couple, yet Martin Landau and Judy Parfitt top the credits. So I guess in a sense, changing the title could change the focus to either twosome.
Wealthy Jews in Germany toward the end of World War II buy the way for their family to flee the country. The Aryan couple remains as their only servants as they sign the papers turning over all their assets to the Nazis.
I just didn't care about these people because they kept changing points of view. We're seeing the bad Nazi's, then the Jewish couple then the Aryan duo. The good guys are sappy and the bad ones are ultra bad. I find that quite immature.
Bandon has the DVD.
