FIRST Monsieur Verdoux,"

Agreement" it'll begin to look
like the Stars getting some OF that
Hollywood gold.
But that's the way they break
"a lot of dull, dreary potbollers
then a few great movies and then
back to the salt mines.
ssGentleman's Agreement" is
what I've been talking about.
The ideas are expertly wrapped
up in an exciting, detective-story-
like plot that will keep you inter-
ested all the way.
AS everyone knows by now,
"Gentleman's Agreement" is the
story of a magazine writer who
poses as Jew for six weeks to
get material for an article on
anti-Semitism.
It's not the same type that
sCrossfire'' dealt with, but the
more subtle, polite or civilized
variety-the kind that manifests
itself in restricted" hotels and
apartments, in ugly jokes, and slick
offices.
am not familiar with Laura
Hobson's book, but it couldn't
have been any better than Moss
Harris screenplay. He has infused
the plot with the skilled drama
lists sense of mounting climax.
He has made the people live and
breathe. He has, in short, made
this film what 1 guess you would
have to call superb entertain
ment'-in the best sense of that
much maligned word.
While we're flinging the posies,
let's not overlook Daryl F. Fan
uck, who had the integrity to pro-
duce this kind of a film. In these
days, that's not easy. Here's the
best measure of just how much
CUTS it did take-Gerald L. K.
Smith, Bilbo and Rankin are
named and licked off as enemies
of democracy and decency.

he said, anyway.

Ella Kazan's direction, too, is
something to cheer about. A
script, no matter how good, is aft
er all, only words on paper. It is
the directors job to bring those
words to life through the mouths
of actors. Kazan has done that,
and done it magnificently. He has
given the. film, tempo and beat;
he has built ap the tension so that
when you feel like exploding, it
Stacks off. He has kept the main
plot moving in direct line and
hitting hard, and at the same time
highlighted the personal details
with a warm and compassionate
tenderness and friendly humor.

Green, decides that the only way
he can really understand the prob

knows before he begins what are
the ramffications of the problem

way. His experiences as Jew con-
cretize the problem-bring it home
to roost. He is first disturbed
then shocked and finally outraged
by his experiences and discover
les.
This IS no superficial treatment
of the problem, either. He learns
that there are Jews who are anti
Sennites themselves; that there are
Jews who would rather ignore the
problem than admit its existence.
He sees anti-Semitism at work in
schools in business, in the profess
sions and the social world.
And, most important, he sees
that it is disease which harms
not only the Jews, but also the
Christians; that anti -Semitism is
anti American, anti democratic
and anti-C Christian.
Peck turns in an excellent per-
Torrance. So does John Garfield,
as his Jewish friend. In fact, Gar
field makes a description of how
a Jew in his company of engineers
died in action one of the most
moving and powerful scenes I've
ever seen on the screen. Anne
Revere as Peck's mother, Dean
Stockwell as his son are good, too.
Another excellent performance is
turned in by Celeste Holm.
The sole discouraging job was
that of Dorothy Mcclure as Peck's
sweetheart. She flutters around
as if she were about to take off
at any moment.
realize you can't have every
thing, but I think that the one
great oversight in the film was
its failure on one basic score. At
one point Dean Stockwell asks
Peck why there is such a thing
as anti-semitism. The question is
repeated later in the film, but we
never do get an attempt to an
swer it. And that's unfortunate.
-
THIS seems to have been John
Garfield week. He's on exhibit, too,
in "Body and Soul" a prize fight
picture which has a helluva lot to
recommend it, including a fine bit
of acting by Canada Lee.
The movie, it seems to me, falls
short, in going only part way in
doing the job it sets out to do
expose the fight racket. But
think you'll find it enjoyable.
