Director Elia Kazan and producer Darryl F. Zanuck caused a sensation with the most spellbinding story ever put on celluloid and the recipient of three Academy Awards including Best Picture. One of the first films to directly tackle racial prejudice, this acclaimed adaptation of Laura Z. Hobson's bestseller stars GREGORY PECK as a journalist assigned to write a series of articles on anti semitism. Searching for an angle, he finally decides to pose as a Jew and soon discovers what it is like to be a victim of religious intolerance. DOROTHY MCGUIRE, JOHN GARFIELD, DEAN STOCKWELL and June Havoc also star in this post-World War II classic.
