The Pawnbroker (Dual Format Edition)

A Jewish pawnbroker, victim of Nazi persecution, loses all faith in his fellow man until he realises too late the tragedy of his actions

Sol Nazerman (Rod Steiger) is a survivor of the concentration camps, which took the lives of his wife and children. Managing a New York pawn shop, he is bereft of hope and takes refuge in condemnation of humanity while seemingly numb to the circumstances of the prostitutes, pimps and thieves that
frequent his store. Yet there are those who strive to connect with him, even as their intrusion into his world threatens the protective cynicism within which
he has wrapped himself for so long.

Oscar®-nominated* for his performance, Steiger firmly established his credentials as an actor of international standing, wonderfully supported here by
Geraldine Fitzgerald (Wuthering Heights) and Brock Peters (To Kill a Mockingbird). The film also boasts a score from the legendary Quincy Jones.
