    Content: "Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night) earned a Best Actor Oscar® nomination for his stunning performance in this powerful story of hope and empathy from celebrated director Sidney Lumet (Dog Days Afternoon). Steiger plays Sol Nazerman, a survivor of a WWII Nazi death camp where his wife, parents and children were murdered. His soul robbed of hope, he takes refuge in misery and a bitter condemnation of humanity while managing a Harlem pawnshop subjected to an endless parade of prostitutes, pimps and thieves. Jamie Sanchez (The Wild Bunch) plays Ortiz, Sol’s underprivileged and idealistic assistant who dreams of a better life. Two of the film’s best features are the gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by the great Boris Kaufman (On the Waterfront) with a memorable trumpet score by the legendary Quincy Jones (The Getaway). The wonderful cast also includes Geraldine Fitzgerald (Wuthering Heights), Brock Peters (To Kill a Mockingbird) and Raymond St. Jacques (Cotton Comes to Harlem)." (Covertext Olive Films)
    Content: "Ein jüdischer Universitätsprofessor aus Leipzig, der vor 25 Jahren im KZ Frau und Kinder verlor, betreibt als Emigrant eine Pfandleihe in Spanish Harlem. Elend und Brutalität seiner Umgebung erinnern ihn ständig an die Vergangenheit und vertiefen seine Verachtung des Menschen. Erst ein Opfertod öffnet seine Verhärtung. Das psychologische Drama über Mitschuld und Läuterung gewinnt durch seine eindringliche Gestaltung hohe formale und humane Qualitäten. (Der für den deutschen Kinoverleih gekürzte Film wurde vom ZDF im Juli 1995 erstmals in der Originallänge ausgestrahlt.) - Sehenswert. " (Lexikon des Internationalen Films)
