One of the first American films to deal squarely with the lingering impact of the Holocaust on those who lived through it, Sidney Lumet’s extraordinary psychological portrait of a survivor stars Rod Steiger as Sol Nazerman; a lonely, bitter pawnbroker in New York’s Harlem where his daily interactions with the desperate clientele further darken his already jaundiced view of humanity. Consumed by the horrors of his past, his only real connection is with his eager apprentice Jesus (Jaime Sanchez) who is brimming with life, in contrast to Sol’s despair. (1965, 114 mins)
