After World War II, racial discrimination in American society became more and more rampant. Phil Green, a white writer, was a young man of integrity. After witnessing the ills of racism, he decided to write a serial exposing anti-Semitism. For this reason, he disguised himself as a Jew, went deep into the circle of Jews in New York, and learned a lot of the truth through private interviews. During this period, Phil Green encountered some problems that the non-Jews did not think of, such as he could not enter and leave the big hotels and clubs freely, because there were rules that Jews were not allowed to enter. His fiancée was despised for being seen as in love with a Jew. His female secretary, a Jew, had to change her name to avoid trouble. His betrothed fiancée was even more disturbed by this and began to blame him. After a period of investigation, Phil finally realized that prejudice against Jews was wrong

This hypocrisy can be accumulated to the end and only exposed to the end, can it still be explained by practical rather than prejudiced... Live a few more years to see if the world has changed, this is still sad even now. I love Anne so much. The kids also did well. There are really a lot of ethical slurs in the movie... Even after watching two of them, Kazan seems to be very good at diverting attention from the emphasis, and I don't know if it's a skill or a hypocrisy.

Kathy Lacey: I was right not to settle. I was right to keep dreaming, because it's all come true. Darling, we're going to be so happy here. This house and I were waiting for you. I was always waiting for you, I think.

Mrs. Green: You know something, Phil? I suddenly want to live to be very old. Very. I want to be around to see what happens. The world is stirring in very strange ways. Maybe this is the century for it. Maybe that's why it's so troubled. Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look back? Maybe it won't be the American century after all... or the Russian century or the atomic century. Wouldn't it be wonderful... if it turned out to be everybody's century... when people all over the world - free people - found a way to live together? I'd like to be around to see some of that... even the beginning. I may stick around for quite a while.
