Best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Excellent performances by the entire ensemble. Great writing, a little pushy at times but a great story to be told. Wonderfully complex characters, especially Kathy. A+

Feels more like watching a campy old PSA than a Best Picture winner. Though to be fair Gregory Peck running around owning bigots is always a good time.

Elia Kazan's antisemitism movie easily ranks among the Academy's weakest Best Picture recipients. The ungainly screenplay features plenty of clunky exposition, contrived events and a hopelessly dreary romance, but worst of all is the heavy-handedness of the film's message, which strips it of all intended power. The cast generally struggle too, with only the wonderful Celeste Holm impressing in any significant capacity.

It still has some powerful things to say about privilege, even if it does get a little old by the time everyone and their mother (literally) has had a chance to give a full-length sermon.

Just the sort of "socially-conscious" flick Hollywood loves to congratulate itself with by giving awards to. Peck sure had a great speaking voice, and decently good looks. But he's ultimately so bland that it's impossible to work up any indignation at all over the way he's treated while pretending--totally unconvincingly--to be Jewish.

Why doesn't the magazine hire a Jewish writer for this story? All the sanctimoniousness is completely undermined by this.

If there is a way to make an audience feel the rage and pain of asking for accommodation in an establishment that simply will not do so, though both you and the evasive schmuck on the other side of the desk know why, and he will not say because he's aware of how shamefully his actions are viewed, then that way is how your movie should play out. Such is the case with Gentleman's Agreement.

A little too preachy and slowly paced, but Kazan--a superb director of actors--brings out unexpected acting resources from everybody involved. Peck is good, particularly at expressing contempt and anger, although perhaps not quite at his best, but McGuire, Garfield, Holm, Revere, Havoc, Jaffee and Roy Roberts have never been better.

I think Kazan is a fairly poor director. The film is ambitious for its time and Peck carries it well, but the entire presentation is so bland and static that I found myself losing interest rapidly. The image and composition are so much an afterthought that this might as well be a radio drama. Even then, the writing could use some polish -- I was far more interested in Anne than Kathy. It's not hard to see why it won Best Picture, though, considering who the voters are. Is that anti-semetic? ;)

For a film made almost 70 years ago, it didn't feel that old to me. Some critics and viewers have argued that the message has not transcended the many decades that separate us from this issue, but I did not feel that way at all. The film and its message felt just as relevant today as it likely was during its own time. The performances are amazing and the script is terrific! I cannot recommend this film enough. Winner of 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

An at times very good but above all well-meaning message movie which at times hammers home its points overly directly, the kid and Peck's love interest stand-ins for the intended uneducated audience. That being said, the point of a movie like this is didactic in nature and the Best Picture prize is, I'd wager, most of all a tip of the hat recognizing the importance of raising the issue. All that aside, it's a thoroughly solid film.

Brilliant movie. Some of the acting is a little bad, but the story is awesome.

Slow to get going and it was quite hard to warm to the characters but it is thought provoking and it must have quite ahead of its time.

Interesting movie, let down by an overly preachy script and weak cast chemistry.
