In his mesmerizing Academy Award-nominated performance, Rod Steiger plays Sol Nazerman, a Jewish pawnbroker living in Harlem after World War II. A Holocaust survivor, Sol is haunted by his memories of the war and the death of his family. Although he is embittered, and numb to the world around him, Sol’s carefully constructed walls begin to crumble as his trauma overwhelms him.
