Director Elia Kazan and producer Darryl F. Zanuck caused a sensation with “the most spellbinding story ever put on celluloid” (Hollywood Reporter), which won three Academy Awards including Best Picture. One of the first films to directly tackle racial prejudice, this acclaimed adaptation of Laura Z Hobson’s bestseller stars Gregory Peck in an Oscar nominated role as a journalist assigned to write a series of articles on anti-Semitism. Searching for an angle, he decides to pose as a Jew – and soon discovers what it is to be a victim of religious intolerance. Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield, Dean Stockwell, June Havoc also star in this riveting post-World War II classic.
