Philip Green is a highly respected writer who is recruited by a national magazine to write a series of articles on anti-Semitism in America. He's not too keen on the series, mostly because he's not sure how to tackle the subject. Then it dawns on him: if he was to pretend to all and sundry that he was Jewish, he could then experience the degree of racism and prejudice that exists and write his story from that perspective.

Full Plot Details

Philip Green is a highly respected writer who is recruited by a national magazine to write a series of articles on anti-Semitism in America. He's not too keen on the series, mostly because he's not sure how to tackle the subject. Then it dawns on him: if he was to pretend to all and sundry that he was Jewish, he could then experience the degree of racism and prejudice that exists and write his story from that perspective. It takes little time for him to experience bigotry. His anger at the way he is treated also affects his relationship with Kathy Lacy, his publisher's niece and the person who suggested the series in the first place.

Movie Reviews

Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonIt's obvious that screenwriter Moss Hart and director Elia Kazan felt strongly about their subject.
Cinema Sight - 9/10 by Wesley LovellAn incisive look at the effects of anti-Semitism and the attempts to stamp it out.
The New Republic - 9/10 by Robert HatchBy dispassionate critical standards, Gentleman's Agreement is not a success. It is a tract rather than a play and it has the crusader's shortcomings.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyTame and too hopeful by today's standards, but Kazan's message drama was important in 1947, representing one of the first time that the word Jew was explicity used in a Hollywood picture.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Tom HutchinsonAn eye-opener in its day, this exposure of high-society racial prejudice still has the power to compel.
Apollo Guide - 7/10 by Brian WebsterThe uncompromising moral stance of Phil, and the movie, makes it difficult for audience members to watch and not question their own day-to-day behaviour.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe film does try to tackle a subject matter that has not been covered too well by Hollywood at the time, and for that alone it should be commended.
Matt's Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Matt EasterbrookI definitely can't fault Gentleman's Agreement for its subject matter, but man, does it ever beat you over the head with it.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 7/10 by Matt BaileyGentleman's Agreement may have been an important film at one time, but it was never a good film.
Time Out - 6/10 by Geoff AndrewGood performances, however, particularly from Garfield and Holm.
