One Sentence Plot Summary:  A magazine reporter pretends to be Jewish for 8 weeks in order to realize and report on the full impact of anti-sematism.
Starring: Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield, Celeste Holm, Anne Revere, June Havoc, Dean Stockwell
Best of:  Gregory Peck is superb.
Worst of:  While it has an important message for 1947, it seems preachy today.  Also, I couldn't help but think of 1986's Soul Man.
I would have liked it better if: I weren't so sick of watching really forced 1930s and 40s romances.  I'd like some recognition that it takes more than just "hello" to fall in love.
Also nominated: Miracle on 34th Street
