흥미로운 사실

Uncle Moses is a 1932 American Yiddish drama film directed by Sidney M. Goldin and Aubrey Scotto. The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Yiddish writer Sholem Asch. It was adapted by and stars Maurice Schwartz in the titular role.

Production

The story originally appeared serialized in The Forward and was published as a book in 1918. It was adapted for the stage by Schwartz for the Yiddish Art Theater's 1930-1931 season (one of ten Yiddish Art Theater productions based on Asch stories), and the screenplay was largely unchanged from the stage production.

The dialog is mostly in Yiddish, though English is used throughout, reflecting the reality of Eastern European Jewish immigrant life in New York City at the time. Similarly, the title is a transliteration into Yiddish from English (Onkel Mozes, אָנקל מאָזעס), as opposed to the translation, which would be Feter Moishe (פֿעטער משה).

With the exception of the opening tracking shot down Orchard Street, the film was entirely photographed at Metropolitan Studios in Fort Lee, NJ. Rubin Goldberg, who portrays Uncle Moses's father, produced the film.
