Review of Gentleman's Agreement (1947) by Isabella P — 25 Apr 2010
The best part about this movie, better than Peck's acting performance, better than the screenplay, was the subject matter. wow. in 1947, two years after WWII, the world is still recovering from the Holocaust, this film came out.
which is probably why it won Best Picture (for more on that see my senior project essay in my blogs). it was a bold film to be sure. it till is. the problems that this film is trying to expose (and successfully) are still not completely gone.
It made some bold choices and I really respect that. however, I feel that this one was a close call. I really like and respect this film and I am alright with the fact that it won. one thing about this film though is you aren't 100% if they are exaggerating in some points.
I doubt it but I can't be sure not having lived in the 1940s. Final Verdict: it's a close call. I am alright that it won but, call me crazy, the film that it is almost tied with was Miracle on 34th Street.
(wow the dude who played Kris Kringle was great).
