Can Gentleman's Agreement be a salient, good movie, and still be entirely too corny? Maybe it's just because I'm looking back at it from the modern day, but Gentleman's Agreement plays hokey and preachy a lot of the time. Full Review

The words ring out with clarity from the Mayfair screen and there is no mistaking their meaning. They are not lost on the wind, but hit you full in the face, making you sit up and take notice of the force behind them. Full Review

By dispassionate critical standards, Gentleman's Agreement is not a success. It is a tract rather than a play and it has the crusader's shortcomings. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- An eye-opener in its day, this exposure of high-society racial prejudice still has the power to compel. Full Review

Rating: 5/10 -- Diabolically dull and somber to the point that it's almost worth laughing at it, except that Gregory Peck's incredibly serious expressions have the tendency to make laughter dry out and die. Full Review

The style may have dated but the motives which drive the film still feel fresh and energetic. Full Review

Product Description:

Though the studios of the Golden Age were reluctant to produce films about Anti-Semitism, this Elia Kazan picture remains one of the best of the few Hollywood treatments of the subject. Gregory Peck gives the right gravity to his role of a magazine reporter who comes to understand in a personal way the barriers imposed by prejudice when, to add depth to his magazine feature, he takes on a Jewish identity. Moss Hart wrote the script, which was based on the novel by Laura Z. Hobson.
