This sophisticated version of his stage classic faithfully recreates Jewish life in turn-of-the-century Grodno, Poland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"syntext\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBerta Gersten gives a memorable performance as Mirele, a wealthy and pious widow whose devotion to her children extends to hand-picking a wife for her eldest son, gravely mistaking the young woman's character as giving and devout. The resulting conflict between the noble Jewish matriarch and her ungrateful, self-serving daughter-in-law provides both a cautionary tale and a lesson in the value of filial piety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"syntext\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"syntext\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA, 1939, 80 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eB\u0026amp;W, Yiddish with new English subtitles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirected by Josef Berne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on a play by Jacob Gordin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FILM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48176383721630,"sku":"rur1787285392920","price":27.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6345\/4366\/files\/mirele-efros-dvd_1.jpg?v=1787285397","url":"https:\/\/urbanwearstore.shop\/products\/mirele-efros-dvd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
