Description

The Pawnbroker - is a 1964 drama film and Nazarman's Loans & Bargains was a movie set located in the most dismal location a slum in upper Manhattan.

If you are into movies like I am,,, it stars Rod Steiger, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Brock Peters, Jaime S�nchez and Morgan Freeman in his feature film debut.

The film was the first American movie to deal with the Jewish holocaust from the viewpoint of a survivor.

The film was also among the first American movies to feature nudity during the Production Code, and was the first film featuring bare breasts to receive Production Code approval.

With the rise of Hitler, Sol Nazerman (Steiger), a German-Jewish university professor, was dragged to a concentration camp along with his family.

He saw his two children die (one while riding in a cattle car) and his wife raped by Nazi officers in the camp.

Now he operates a pawnshop in East Harlem, while living in an anonymous Long Island apartment.

"The irony of the film is that he finds more life here than anywhere.

It's outside Harlem, in housing projects, office buildings, even the Long Island suburbs, everywhere they show on the screen that everything is conformist, sterile, dead."

So wow, don't want to give up too much so you'll have to see the movie if you haven't already, but here's a major real life image of the actual store front.
