4.0 out of 5 stars One of My Favourite Classics, 1 Jul 2003
This review is from: Gentleman's Agreement [DVD] [1947] (DVD)
Gentleman's Agreement was the 1947 winner of 3 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Celeste Holm), and Best Director (Elia Kazan). Adapted from Laura Z. Hobson's best-selling book, this post-World War II classic caused a sensation through its confrontation of religious prejudice.

Gregory Peck plays the part of a renowned journalist who takes a daring and provocative approach to writing a series about post-War anti-Semitism in America for a national magazine. Whilst the plot includes some heavy-handed moralising and the dialogue can at times be condescending in its sermonising, these approaches are both necessary in exposing the hypocrisy of those who profess condemnation of prejudice in general, and anti-Semitism in particular, but unwittingly uphold it through their failure to actively stand against it.

Apart from its necessary and commendable primary theme, I love this film for its snappy 1940's New York parlance; the subplot love triangle between Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire, and Celeste Holm; the childhood and ex-army comradeship between Peck and John Garfield, and the lost etiquette of romance contemporary to the era.

The original theatrical trailer included in the special features is really charming as it is in the style of a Movietone newsreel. Also included are a gallery of cast stills and subtitles in 10 languages as well as English for the hearing-impaired.

Still an excellent film and a must-have for your classics collection. Buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not excellent, 22 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This film has many depths. I am an avid fan but this did not surpass my expectations. I have given it four stars because I enjoy the genre but I think that this film could have been a lot better. Buy this if you are a fan , but not just out of interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 23 Aug 2003
By C. Gregori "sherlika" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gentleman's Agreement [DVD] [1947] (DVD)
Wonderful film and very compelling. I am not Jewish, but I was saddened by how some of them were treated in America. The subtle discrimination that happened in America and the brilliance of Peck's character when he decides to be Jewish for a month. His life then turns around in way that he found difficult to cope. It was like he should be ashamed of doing that when he was a blessed man who was not Jewish? Even the real Jews in the story discriminated his decision. It will open your eyes not only for discrimination against Jews, but many other races and religions and how people in our society judge us before knowing us. It is a great film!
