Edgar Ulmer’s rarely seen 1939 film is “one of the most emotionally satisfying of all Yiddish films,” says Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times film critic. Based on Mendele Mocher Seforim’s classic short stories, the film, which was shot with the New Jersey countryside standing in for the “Old Country,” details the touching romance between a blind girl (Helen Beverly) and a lame beggar (David Opatoshu). Post-film event: Discussion with Kenneth Turan. Sponsored by Washington Electric Coop and the Vermont Humanities Council. Community Partner: Beth Jacob Synagogue. No rating, 92 minutes.
