See a landmark film at a landmark site. Based on an 1896 story by Jewish Daily Forward editor Abraham Cahan, Joan Micklin Silver’s 1975 film traces the comic and poignant story of Jake (Steven Keats) and Gitl (Carol Kane), Russian immigrants on the Lower East Side with very different ideas about Americanization.
