What 1947 film starring Gregory Peck deals with anti-Semitism?

The 1947 film starring Gregory Peck that deals with anti-Semitism is Gentleman's Agreement.

Directed by Elia Kazan, the film stars Peck as journalist Philip Schuyler Green. To investigate discrimination, Green pretends to be Jewish and records the anti-Semitic treatment he encounters in professional, social, and residential settings. The screenplay adapts Laura Z. Hobson’s best-selling 1947 novel of the same name.

The film examines prejudice that is often hidden behind euphemisms and private arrangements—the “gentleman’s agreements” that could exclude Jewish people from housing, clubs, jobs, and communities. Its subject made the production controversial, especially in an era when Hollywood studios were cautious about confronting religious and racial intolerance.

Gentleman's Agreement was a major awards success. It received eight Academy Award nominations and won Best Picture, Best Director for Kazan, and Best Supporting Actress for Celeste Holm. John Garfield plays Dave Goldman, a Jewish character whose experiences help expose the damage caused by supposedly respectable prejudice.

A common mix-up is Crossfire, another 1947 film about anti-Semitism. Crossfire is a defensible neighboring title, but its central investigation concerns the murder of a Jewish veteran, whereas Gentleman's Agreement directly follows a journalist’s undercover investigation.
