Another picture that was different and a little controversial at the time was Gentlemans' Agreement with Gregory Peck. I was ten years old and it made a big impression-- still a good movie if a little hectoring. I grew up knowing all about restrictive covenants and exclusionary rules at clubs and quotas and hiring policies at the major corporations. I just looked G.A up on Wikipedia to see if I remembered correctly and it has a little back story. Daryl Zanuck decided to make it because he'd been denied membership at a country club because he was Jewish --which he was not. Came out same year as Crossfire and won academy awards. Check out the Wikipedia listing. <br /><br />Also Kudos to you. I think all your posts are examples of great prose. Lucid, informed, interesting - extremely well organized. Very impressed.
