Movie Reviews of Gentleman's Agreement
Movie Review: Fisrt Jewish Film
Summary: 4 Stars
Made in 1947 this film is a little self-conscious at times and bombastic at others. However, it was the first to address a sensitive social issue. I've enjoyed this film for several years and decided to finally purchase it. The quality of the product is not to be questioned.
Summary of Gentleman's Agreement
A journalist assigned to write a series of article on anti-semitism. Searching for an angle, he finally decides to pose as a Jew-and soon discovers what is to be a victim of religious intolerance.Elia Kazan directed this sometimes powerful study of anti-Semitism in nicer circles, based on Laura Z. Hobson's post-World War II novel. Gregory Peck is a hotshot magazine writer who has been blind to the problem; to ferret it out, he passes himself off as Jewish and watches the WASPs squirm. Seen a half-century later, the attitudes seem quaint and dated: Could it really have been like this? Yet the truth of the story comes through, in the wounded dignity of John Garfield, the upright indignation of Peck, and the hidden ways bigotry and hatred can poison relationships. That's particularly true in the Oscar-winning performance of Celeste Holm, who finds more layers than you'd expect in what seems like a stock character. --Marshall Fine
