OF PURE BLOOD is a compelling drama detailing the horrific ramifications of the Nazis' Lebensborn programme.

Lee Remick plays Alicia Browning, a successful New York casting director, who learns that her son (living in Germany) has been mysteriously killed. She gets another shock when she discovers that he fathered a daughter.

Alicia travels to Germany, and uncovers the horrible truth: her granddaughter is embroiled in a revival of the 'Lebensborn' programme, used by the Nazis' during WW2 as a way of breeding perfect Aryan children (the master race). When Alicia discovers that she, too, was a product of the Lebensborn programme, she decides to smuggle her granddaugher out of Germany.

Fine, well-written thriller/drama co-starring Patrick McGoohan, Gottfried John, Richard Munch, Katharina Bohm, Edith Schneider and Carolyn Nelson.

Ok,it's been more than 20 yrs since this
little gem was aired .It's about time to
bring it out on DVD.
PLEASE.

Good Lee Remick film that is not in print. It is only available on VHS. The plotline is about racism towards people ethnically different from the white aryan race. It challenges people to examine their own beliefs. Lee Remick in the film is traumatised to realize she herself has racist ways and is moved to change the way she views other people.

There are many great BBC Videos, one is "Of Pure Blood" from the book of the same name but I doubt this is the video. It aired on the Discovery Channel and another same is "Selling of Murder" You cannot get these videos from anywhere in NTSC. They put on a show and before you can set up your VCR it is too late and even if you do it is so full of commercials it is not worth it.
