    His Wife's Lover (2007)
    Waltham : The National Center for Jewish Film
    Details
    Language: Yiddish
    Pages: 1 DVD-Video (80 Min.) , schwarz-weiß
    Year of publication: 2007
    Uniform Title: Zayn Vaybs Lubovnik
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: Billed as the first Jewish musical comedy talking picture, "His Wife"s Lover" stars the popular Yiddish theater comedian Ludwig Satz in one of his only surviving film performances. This fast-paced, song-filled comedy benefits from location camerawork of New York City's Lower East Side and solid direction from Sidney Goldin, director of "East and West" (1923), "Uncle Moses" (1932) and "The Cantor's Son" (1937), features previously restored by NCJF. With a script by a female author, Sheyne Rokhl Simkoff, "His Wife's Lover" revels in its role reversals and love triangles all the while exploring the gender issues of its day. When handsome actor Eddie Wien decides to marry, his uncle Oscar Stein warns that all women are frivolous and selfish, only on the lookout for a fat pocketbook. To prove him wrong, Eddie woos shop girl Golde Blumberg while disguised as a repulsive old millionaire "Herman Weingarten". Golde initially resists "Herman" but, forced to escape her dire financial situation, she finally accepts. A second bet is devised and the elaborate farce continues. In the end, the lovers triumph over deceptions and mistaken identities. [jewishfilm.org]

    The Wandering Jew (2006)
    Waltham : The National Center for Jewish Film
    Details
    Language: Yiddish
    Pages: 1 DVD-Video (55 Min.) , schwarz-weiß
    Year of publication: 2006
    Uniform Title: Der vanderner Yid
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: "The Wandering Jew" tells the story of Arthur Levi (Jacob Ben-Ami), a German-Jewish artist who experiences the new German antisemitism when his masterpiece, a portrait of his Polish-born father entitled "The Eternal Wanderer" is rejected by the Berlin Academy of Art, which also asks his resignation as professor. Later in the film the figure in the painting comes to life and tells Levi the story of the persecution of the Jewish people. The film ends with footage of an anti-Hitler rally at New York City's Madison Square Garden and Levi's resolve to bear onward in the face of adversity. "The Wandering Jew" is a unique find: the first American feature film to depict the situation of Jews in Nazi Germany, and the only Yiddish-language film of its era to address this subject. The film, which dramatizes the situation of German Jews, was an American-Jewish response to the Nazi regime. It was produced by Jewish American Film Arts at the Atlas Studio on Long Island, NY during the summer of 1933, just months after the Nazi rise to power in Germany. In the wake of the violence of Kristallnacht the film was given a December 1938 re-release under the title "Jews in Exile", screening in RKO theaters all over the New York area. [www.nywift.org]

    Abstract: Onkel Moses, ein ehemals armer ostjüdischer Emigrant, betreibt ein florierendes Textilgeschäft in der Lower East Side von New York. Bedenkenlos nimmt er die Tochter eines Angestellten zur Frau, doch die Ehe, in die wegen der wirtschaftlichen Abhängigkeit eingewilligt wurde, verläuft unglücklich. Als die Gewerkschaftsbewegung erstarkt, scheitern auch die geschäftlichen Zukunftspläne. Der in den 30er Jahren spielende Film versucht, ein authentisches Bild des Lebens ostjüdischer Einwanderer in den USA zu vermitteln, und dokumentiert den Umbruch der Traditionen zum modernen amerikanischen Lebensstil. Ein historisch wie kulturell gleichermaßen interessantes Dokument. - Ab 14. [Film-Dienst]

    Uniform Title: Jewish life in Lwow
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: Stylish women promenade through modern Lwow’s thriving market squares to a piano-and-violin accompaniment suggesting urban rhythms. Also known as Lemberg and home to an old, well-established Jewish community, this city nestled in a valley projects an aura of prosperity. Parks and pavilions punctuate its public spaces as trucks, pushcarts and bicycles ply its busy streets. Among the Jewish community landmarks shown are the Yad Haruzim Trade Union Building, the Old Ghetto, the softly curving exterior of the Modern Temple, the orthodox school, the Moorish-looking Lazarus Hospital and the grave of the "Golden Rose" - filmed in warm, dappled light - and the Nowosci Theater.

    Uniform Title: A day in Warsaw
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: The lively Jewish neighborhoods of Warsaw, including Zamenhof Street and the commercial "beehive" Nalewki Street, were home to 400,000 Jews before World War II. "A Day in Warsaw" sets Warsaw's modern multi-storied buildings and broad streets against its old market square and Jewish quarter. Trucks, trolleys, autos and buses meet horse-drawn carriages, pushcarts and porters in the bustling commercial district. Also shown are the Yiddish Theater, Gensza Cemetery and other Jewish institutions - the community council, hospitals, schools and synagogues. At film's end, after Sabbath services, families pour into Krashinsky Park where children play and adults spiritedly debate the issues of the day. [jewishfilm.org]
