Critiques (2)
Elia Kazan again as a director of a social drama. That's why there is a lot of talking here, often and quickly, generously forgiving and at the right moment avoiding consequences. Less is sometimes more and here, one intense scene would be enough and would say more than the fifth or sixth monologue about what could be done but isn't. Gregory Peck himself admitted that as a more mature actor, he would have put much more into the role of Mr. Green, unfortunately, the Agreement also appears too much like a poster thanks to him.

Watching Gentleman's Agreement almost made me nauseous. Not even because of how the film is shot, or how it's acted, because there's not much to criticize about that because it's good. But rather because one realizes that it's a film that accentuates antisemitism soon after the war. But 70 years have passed, and nothing has changed in the world. The hate is still there and it’s even worse. Basically a timeless film.
