Gentleman's Agreement

Gentleman's Agreement is a 1947 drama film about a journalist (played by Gregory Peck) who goes undercover as a Jew to conduct research for an exposé on antisemitism in New York City and the affluent community of Darien, Connecticut. It was nominated for eight Oscars and won three: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Celeste Holm), and Best Director (Elia Kazan). The movie was controversial in its time, as was a similar film on the same subject, Crossfire, which was also released the same year. The film was based on Laura Z. Hobson's 1947 novel of the same name.

The movie was released on DVD as part of the 20th Century Fox Studio Classics collection.
