Description: In a poor neighborhood of New York, the bitter and lonely Jewish pawnbroker Sol Nazerman is a survivor from Auschwitz that has no emotions or feelings. Sol lost his dearest family and friends in the war and his faith in God and belief in mankind. Now he only cares for money and is haunted by daydreams, actually flashbacks from the period of the concentration camp. Sol's assistant is the ambitious Latino Jesus Ortiz, who wants to learn with Sol how to run a business of his own.

Winter/Spring 2022 Viewings (11 movies items)

"Viewing: 1st Format: DVD Thoughts: The Pawnbroker is an interesting film from the new Hollywood era of the mid-to-late 60s. It's gritty New York filmmaking by Sidney Lumet and focuses on a character that's more of a tortured soul. It stars Rod Steiger in the titular role and he's absolutely amazing. Made me think of Taxi Driver and other vigilante-themed movies. Quality stuff!"

"THE CLASSICS YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN BY NOW Rod Steiger Before there was a pandering industry for Jewish-themed movies, there was The Pawnbroker. Before B-list actors won Oscars for weak portrayals of Holocaust survivors and perpetrators, there was The Pawnbroker. And before PTSD became a household discussion due to Iraq and Afghanistan, there was The Pawnbroker. Director Sidney Lumet’s (1964) black and white examination of the agony of surviving the concentration camp became an instant classic a"
