CAST REVIEWS Review by John Levin (posted on 24-Sep-2007) It took Daryll Zanuck, a man who was not jewish, to get this sensitive
but hard-hitting film produced in Hollywood. We can only be glad that
he did. There are so many exceptional segments: Gregory Peck pretending
to be jewish, attempts to register at a "restricted" hotel. The
manager, played by Roy Roberts, is letter-perfect as the somewhat
polite manager who eventually loses all patience with the persistent
Peck. The exceptionally talented child actor Dean Stockwell renders all
the pain a boy would feel from the pressure of anti-semitism. Nobody in
the cast is let off the hook. Bigotry is depicted in the most innocuous
attitudes. Finally, there is John Garfield, a jewish actor, to calmly
show how one gets thru the day in a Christian world. An exceptional
effort in a brief progressive period before the iron curtain of HUAC
rang down on all of it.
