Harold Vermilyea

Young Martin Lynn (Farley Granger) ekes out a meager wage as a delivery boy while caring for his tubercular mother, a devout Catholic. Upon her death, Father Kirkman (Harold Vermilyea) refuses to help arrange a proper funeral, driving the grief-stricken youth to frenzied measures. In this bleak film noir, doors close on embittered Martin wherever he turns, although sympathetic Father Roth (Dana Andrews) extends a redemptive hand.

Fred MacMurray plays a celebrity publicist smitten by a dead actress, and Frank Sinatra plays a somewhat unlikely small-town priest in an offbeat drama that offers a distinctly Hollywood-style message of faith. When up-and-comer Olga Treskovna (Alida Valli) dies before her first starring film is released, publicist Bill Dunnigan (MacMurray) travels to the actress's hometown to promote her memory. Lo and behold, miracles ensue -- or do they?

A writer passes himself off as Jewish to pen a series of articles on anti-Semitism, and what he learns opens his eyes to the bigotry in the world around him.

This film stars Gregory Peck as recently widowed journalist Phil Green. Green is receptive to the invitation of magazine publisher John Minify to write a series of hard-hitting articles on the scourge of anti-Semitism. In order to clean his information first hand, Green decides to pose as a Jew. As the weeks go by, Green experiences all manner of prejudice. Green's pose takes a toll on his budding romance with Minify's niece Kathy, who comes to realize by her own example that even those who insist that they harbor no anti-Semitic feelings are also capable of prejudice.
