Genres & Description

Action Drama

7.8 / 10

In a poor neighborhood of New York, the bitter and lonely Jewish pawnbroker Sol Nazerman is a survivor from Auschwitz that has no emotions or feelings. Sol lost his dearest family and friends in the war and his faith in God and belief in mankind. Now he only cares for money and is haunted by daydreams, actually flashbacks from the period of the concentration camp. Sol's assistant is the ambitious Latino Jesus Ortiz, who wants to learn with Sol how to run a business of his own. When Sol realizes that the obscure laundry business he has with the powerful gangster Rodriguez comes also from brothels, Sol recalls the fate of his beloved wife in the concentration camp and has a nervous breakdown. His attitude leads Jesus Ortiz to tragedy and Sol finds a way to cry.

This film's release was held up for 2 years because Sidney Lumet couldn't get the MPAA approval because of the Catholic "Legion Of Decency". Thanks for the info Ralph Rosenblum. - @Thursday, August 16, 2018 2:43 PM

One of my favorite "sleeper" films, but I think that the trailer shows too much of the story. - @Sunday, April 30, 2017 4:29 AM

the guy back there smoking the cigarette is Morgan Freeman, I know that because he talked about it on the Harry Connick Jr show, which I just saw today and he said not many people know that - @Friday, September 30, 2016 6:28 PM
