The Dybbuk

Various Artists

The Dybbuk is the most widely produced play in the history of Jewish theater. It has been performed in Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish, English, Ukranian, Swedish, Bulgarian, Czech, Serbian, French and Japanese. This 1937 production with Cantor Gershon Sirota is 121 minutes in length, black & white and is in Yiddish with non-optional English subtitles. "The Dybbuk is poignant and sometimes mesmerizing. It rewards you with a mystical fervor and a layered emotionality that are rare in movies of any era."?��The New Yorker. "It has an enthralling power and is magnificently acted. Here is a motion picture of spellbinding strangeness and extraordinary distinction."?��International Herald Tribune. "Nothing Hollywood has done can compare with the seriousness of The Dybbuk."?��Parker Tyler, Magic and Myth of the Movies. "I think it one of the most solemn attestations to the mystic powers of the spirit the imagination has ever purveyed to the film reel."?��Parker Tyler, Classics of the Foreign Film. "By far the finest Yiddish film production ever offered here is Irving Geist's impressive presentation of Ansky's The Dybbuk. The Dybbuk should immediately be placed on the 'Must' list of those who enjoy unusual and exceptional movies. The musical score by H. Kon is extremely beautiful?��gay in the festival scenes, and stirring in the ritual songs rendered by chief cantor Gerson Sirota. No matter what your religion or nationality, we recommend The Dybbuk to you as a truly worthwhile screen achievement."?��Irene Thirer, New York Post, January 27, 1938. "We accept and we find in the screen version of The Dybbuk one of the most moving pieces of drama that we ever want to see."?��Herbert Cohn, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, January 29, 1938.
