i have to call my mother ( a wasp ) to ask her about this . be it really that bad in the 40 in new york . surprise and she couldn not remember . so i tell her to see the movie . arthur miller and in not a screen play but a novel for a change and be 30 when he write this in 1945. it be a painful depiction of anti semitism . yet oddly enough and there be a tender story of human relationship ( finkelstein and the jew and with newman and the non jew and primarily ) underlie the cruel story . the acting be competent and the cinematography be very good . the only reason i can think of for this not make it big in the theatre be that it > > aaagh < < controversial . i actually give it ten of ten . maybe a bit high and but it so worth seeing .
