Directed by Joseph Green
and Konrad Tom
Poland, 1938, 97 min
Yiddish with New English subtitles
Drama
Molly Picon stars as Havche ("Mamele") in this Cinderella-like musical comedy/drama. No one in the family appreciates her: neither her ne'er do well father, her two sisters, nor her three brothers.
She cooks, cleans, washes, sews, rescues her siblings from disaster, and engages in a little matchmaking, a regular scullery maid in this 1938 restored Polish/Yiddish film.
And she shines when she sings many of the old Yiddish favorites along with her Prince Charming, a violinist who lives across the courtyard. This picture of pre-war Poland is not to be missed, replete with gangsters, night clubs, sukkahs and a view of a lost world.
