  1. 40
    Only Sol and Sara even approach being real characters; the supporting players, Black and Jewish alike, are shrill stereotypes.
  2. 38
    The acting is, at best, serviceable; the sound track is too often unintelligible; the direction is often over the top; and the script relies heavily on stereotypes.
  3. 30
    The film dissolves into a series of diminishing anticlimaxes, ending on a note of portentous ambiguity. To the last, Mr. Levin maintains his uneasy balance of reportage and melodrama.
