LETTERS FROM ELIA: GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT
Plaza Theatre
Atlanta, GA
September 27, 7:30 PM
GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT (dir. Elia Kazan, U.S., 1947, b&w, 118 min., 35mm)
Gregory Peck stars as Philip Schuyler Green, a journalist who agrees to go undercover as a Jew to report on anti-Semitism in postwar America. This topical film proved controversial throughout its production (Samuel Goldwyn and other Jewish film executives approached producer Darryl Zanuck and asked him not to make the film, fearing that it would "stir up trouble"; Peck's agent advised him not to take the role fearing it would endanger his career; the film upset the House Un-American Activities Committee, which led to Kazan being called to testify before the committee.) Despite the controversy, the film earned the ACADEMY AWARD® for Best Picture and garnered Kazan his first OSCAR® for Best Directing.
