‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ (1947)
The film stars Gregory Peck. In it, he plays a journalist who goes undercover to show widespread antisemitism in New York City. While certainly an important subject, especially in 1947, the film seems a little clunky compared to other films that have followed that explore discrimination. When Gregory Peck “goes undercover,” he changes his name to a Jewish name and tries to get a job. While the message still stands, the method does not.
