Gentlemen's Agreement (1947) This film is English

Director: Elia Kazan

Gregory Peck stars as a journalist who pretends to be Jewish to investigate anti-semitism in New York. This groundbreaking film, directed by Elia Kazan, won three Academy Awards in 1947, including Best Picture, Celeste Holm for Best Supporting Actress, and Elia Kazan for Best Director. Acclaimed for its bold and honest portrayal of bigotry and prejudice in post-war society, the film remains a significant work in cinema history, shedding light on the pervasive issue of intolerance.
