      steve d The script undercuts the seriousness whenever it can. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This adaptation of a play by Franz Werfel pussyfoots around antisemitism and eventually turns into just another Danny Kaye vehicle. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member good except the cliche 'hollywood happy ending' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A good Danny Kaye flick.
