oh but Mr. Gregory!




I watched "Gentleman's Agreement" and I forgot how amazing that movie was for being made in 1947. Film was still a relatively new medium at the time & acting was often times still exaggerated like it was on live stage. But this movie was shot well, edited well and the script content was risque and socially valid for the time period. It was no Hitchcock, but it was still good. Not to mention Gregory Peck... for some reason, swanky and dapper Gregory Peck makes smoking look incredibly smooth & suave (a feat in itself!)
