Gentleman’s Agreement (1947)Gentleman's Agreement
Date Read Gentleman's Agreement by Laura Z. Hobson

A reporter pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism, and personally discovers the true depths of bigotry and hatred.


This film came out shortly after the end of WWII and was obvious propaganda. The filming was dark, and while it was a dark subject itself it was so dark that sometimes I had difficult disguising what was going on. I have always had an interest in WWII so was looking forward to seeing this, unfortunately, the story telling was so dull that I don’t think I could have held my eyes up with toothpicks. In fact I am having a hard time reviewing this as my eyes were so glazed over that I couldn’t even give a fair judgement on whether Gentleman’s Agreement even deserved an Oscar for Best Picture. To conclude, this is a lackluster review for a lackluster film.
