Synopsis

GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT is an excellent film that addresses anti-Semitism. Gregory Peck gives the right gravity to his role of a magazine reporter who comes to understand the barriers imposed by prejudice when, to add depth to his magazine feature, he takes on a Jewish identity. Moss Hart wrote the script, based on the novel by Laura Z. Hobson.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of My Favourite Classics, 1 Jul 2003
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.

Wonderful film and very compelling. I am not Jewish, but I was saddened by how some of them were treated in America. Read more
