The Pawnbroker*
US 1965. Landau. 114m. bw

An emotionally detached former Jewish professor runs a sleazy Harlem pawnshop, but is haunted by his memories of the concentration camps.
Gloomily filmed, powerfully studied portrayal of one man's isolation, heavy going despite subliminal flashbacks to the camps which catch the eye. Emotionally uncomfortable viewing.
