I saw this tonight on Jewish Life TV, and could not break away from this. Yes, this is a movie made in 1970, and it shows. Still, the performers in this movie give a fine performance!
The movie is not without its flaws. If nothing else, I would have had subtitles in where the characters spoke Hebrew. But I applaud Harry Belafonte for making this movie, and getting both the cast he got as well as the director is an accomplishment in itself.
What counts is that this movie kept my interest! If that is not entertainment, I don't know what is. Anyway, this is one of several movies made during the 1970s that prove rewarding. Just remember, this is recording a time and place when New York was a different place than it is now.
