Great movie!


Larry experienced what it felt like to be Jewish. He shouldn't have had to change his glasses. That just pointed out the ridiculousness of bigotry and hatred. He was expected to give up the house he had lived in for years. He was turned away from fancy motels. His wife was discriminated against when she bought groceries. They were beaten up by thugs. When I was in HS in the early 1960s, an extremely bright, all-around great student was rejected by a top university, almost unheard of at the time, because she was Jewish. The setting for this movie was just before McCarthyism when many people in the entertainment industry, many who were Jewish, were suspected of being communists. One would tend to believe that there would be a lot of empathy for Jews after the Holocaust, but sadly that wasn't the case.
