It's saddening to watch because the Galitzianeh culture that I remember from my youth is gone with the passing of time and the relatives. The songs and the dancing, the food...all fading away.
Am watching this as I stroll thru a mans diary from 1938 I found in the attic of an old farmhouse in California and listening to and watching things he mentions he saw with friends on particular days. This one said, ' (Saturday March 26 1938) Worked some and Jack and I cleaned and polished the Ford. Lucille and I saw Molly Picon(?) in a Yiddle and his Fiddle at the Esquire. It was really good". Just thought I'd share a moment in a man's nearly forgotten life.
Very interesting to watch this film, especially the wedding scene. I imagine there are many sources where one can learn about the film's context. I recommend "The Yiddish Cinema in American Life" by Goldman, which is in a very interesting collection of essays entitled "Yiddish in America" edited by Edward S. Shapiro.
@Sweetcleopatraa Only that Gypsy can not sit at one place ,at home, but must to be always in the road Is it wrong ? I think no. : ))) Greetings from Poland

The loss of the Yiddish language in particular is really sad

Interesting that they were showing Yiddish-language films at cinemas in 1938. Thanks for sharing.
Where was the Esquire? Does it still exist?
Nostalgic City...
1936 And Then Destroyed
Beauty And Grace Of Molly Picón!
In just over 3 years from the making of this film, most of the cast would be dead under the German occupation.
most of actors in this film died during the war
I love this film so much!! It connects you back to living with full expression and humanity ❤️
where can I find the full film? Is it in existence?
I bought it on a CD.
It's not in the public domain and it's very hard to find (and costly to buy), but you can rent it from Netflix.
IT IS in the public domain.
The gypsy remark was not criticism. He just said that he probably wouldn't get married, because he's always on the move, like a gypsy.
