This straight-to-video gem is a simple yet powerful study of hate, set claustrophobically in a Forties New York suburb rife with anti-Semitism. Protestant Lawrence (William H Macy, superb) meekly turns a blind eye when bigots, led by his neighbour (Meat Loaf Aday), hound a local Jewish shopkeeper (David Paymer). But when Lawrence gets a new pair of specs, the racists decide he 'looks Jewish', and turn against him and his wife (Laura Dern)... A chilling film - watch it, feel it, and make it less relevant today.
