The Boys From Brazil - a comedy?

Quotes from The Boys from Brazil (1978) starring those well-known comic turns, Gregory Peck as Dr. Josef Mengele and Laurence Olivier as Ezra Lieberman, all backed by a wonderfully melodramatic score by Jerry Goldsmith.

Lieberman - Feel free to ignore your responsibilities while my property is being ruined!
Landlord - You have no right to bring these heavy cabinets in here.
Lieberman - All right, all right! So next time rent to a feather merchant!

Lieberman - Mr Kohler, it may be a blinding revelation to you that there are Nazis in Paraguay, but I assure you, it is no news to me. And if you stay there much longer, there will still be Nazis in Paraguay, but there will be one less Jewish boy in the world.

Lieberman - He's been there... some weeks. I told him to go home and he hung up. What did he want? Applause?

Beynon - How are you getting along?
Lieberman - Can't complain. Who'd listen?
Beynon - I'm so sorry, I'm late for lunch.
Lieberman - Always such a prodigious appetite!
Beynon - What?
Lieberman - Eight times last week I called you, and each time you were at lunch. Maybe you have a tapeworm?

Beynon - Have you any idea how many men in their mid-60s die every day?
Lieberman - I try not to think about it.

Simon Harrington - Don't you understand English, you arse?

Lieberman - If you want to ask the questions, you pay for the phone call!

Gertrud - Get a doctor!
Mengele - I am a doctor, idiot!
Gertrud - Don't you come near him!
Mengele - Shut up, you ugly bitch!

Doctor - Then he was nothing more than a sadist, really.
Lieberman - A sadist with an MD and a PhD.
Lieberman - Well, some people would say that's a perfect definition of a scientist.

Lieberman - Did you kill Wheelock?
Mengele - No... he's in the kitchen, mixing us some cocktails!

Mengele - A Hitler tailor-made for the 1980s!

That's not even to mention the bit with the puppet. imdb defines the genre as "Drama / Horror / Sci-Fi / Thriller". We could add Comedy to that list, but it is better to consider if great drama always invokes comedy (and vice-versa).
