After Al Jolson shepherded in the Age of Talkies, we did not see another major character who was Jewish on the silver screen until 1947 with Gentleman’s Agreement and Crossfire, both of which dealt with antisemitism.  This series will include films with major Jewish characters and/or events significant to the Jewish community.  How has the portrayal of American Jews evolved? Suggested titles include: Annie Hall & Uncut Gems.
