Editorial Reviews:

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 Day 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").
