Introduction: Gyula Gazdag, film director
Edward Lewis Wallant's novel of the same title was first published in 1961. Sol Nazerman (Rod Steiger) is a 45-year-old Polish immigrant who used to be a university professor in Krakow before World War II. At the time of the story, he keeps a pawnshop in East Harlem, New York. The absurdity of his existence stems from pressure to adapt to his constantly changing surroundings and his struggle with his haunting Holocaust memories. adapted for the screen with keen accuracy by Sidney Lumet, Rod Steiger and the screenwriters (Morton S. Fine, David Friedkin, and Edward Lewis Wallant).
