Audience Member Ein bisschen yidischkeit mit Musik! Schoenen Blick in einen vergangenen (leider) Zeitpunkt. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Molly Picon is one of my favorite actresses. Filmed prior to WWII during a period when Yiddish theatre was at its height, this is an important film whose roots reach to later works such as "Yentl" and "Fiddler on the Roof." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Shows authentic Jewish life in Poland in the 1930s and is an example of what was popular then. Its a shame that most of the people in this movie were probably murdered within the next 10 years in the Holocaust. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
