    Winning the Oscar can only be a political need. How can you say that Jews discriminate against blacks in the United States? It's a coincidental movie of the era, and it's almost as empty as the red movies made in China today. In addition to being angry, the male protagonist is still angry. The supporting actress won the best supporting actress after throwing a few winks. The most disgusting thing is that the two are together again at the end. It turns out that the Oscar judges like this kind of bloody drama

    In 1948, the 20th Academy Award for Best Picture! In 1948, the 5th Golden Globe Awards Best Picture in a Drama Series! This one is relatively poor in Oscar BP. The story is okay, but the director made it boring. It became a didactic movie. Now that this film is released, I'm afraid it won't even get a nomination.

Gentleman's Agreement quotes

  • Mrs. Green: Are you very disappointed, Phil?

    Phil Green: Yes, I am. I was almost sure he'd hand me the Stassen story or Washington. Oh, I wasn't looking for an easy one, Ma, but I did want something I could make good on. I'd so like the first one here to be a natural. Something I know they would read.

    Mrs. Green: Oh, you mean, there's enough anti-Semitism in real life without people reading about it?

    Phil Green: No, but this one's doomed before I start. What can I say that hasn't been said before?

    Mrs. Green: I don't know. Maybe it hasn't been said well enough. If it had, you wouldn't have had to explain it to Tommy just now, or you father and I to you. It would be nice sometime, not to have to explain it to someone like Tommy. Kids are so decent to start with.

  • Phil Green: Ma, I've got it! I've got the idea, the angle, the lead. I'll be Jewish! Why, all I've got to do is just say it! No one around here knows me. I can live with myself for six weeks, eight weeks, nine months. Ma, this is it!

    Mrs. Green: It must be. It always is when you're this sure.

    Phil Green: Ma, listen, I've even got the title. "I Was Jewish for Six Months."

    Mrs. Green: It's right, Phil.

    Phil Green: Ma, it's like this click just happened inside me. It won't be the same, sure, but it'll be close. I can just tell them I'm Jewish and see what happens.

    Mrs. Green: It'll work fine, Phil.

    Phil Green: Dark hair, dark eyes. Just like Dave. Just like a lot of guys who aren't Jewish. No accent, no mannerisms. Neither has Dave.
