Director Elia Kazan and producer Darryl F. Zannuck caused a sensation with "the most spellbinding ever put on celluloid" (Hollywood Reporter), recipient of 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 as a journalist assigned to write a series of articles on anti-semitism. Searching for an angle, he finally decides to pose as a Jew - and soon discovers what it is like to be a victim of religious intolerance. Dorothy Maguire, John Garfield, Dean Stockwell, and Jane Havoc also star in this post World War II classic.
