It may be a bit 'preachy', but it does have a great message that still needs to be heard today. Great performances and a fascinating plot make a very good movie.

An old movie,but a recurring theme of anti-semitism. Vintage Gregory Peck as Journalist in New york setting. An interesting approach revealing attitudes still widely held today regrettably.

Interesting movie, Gregory Peck is just fabulous and georgeous! He plays a journalist who pretends to be jewish to understand and feel at first hand , racism from fellow Americans. I was very surprised by this- never aware that this occurred in America at that time.

A little dated these days, but itmust be seen as a product of its time. Good performances by the two leads, but I prefer the work of John Garfield and the magazin'es fashion editor.
