- Synopsis
- A post-Holocaust Jew, living in Coney Island, can't choose between three women--his current wife (who hid him during the war), his tempestuous lover, and his reappearing pre-war wife he presumed dead.
This dark comedy, adapted from Isaac Bashevis Singer’s novel (Singer was the writer of Yentl's story), charts the exploits of four Holocaust survivors in 1940s New York. Herman, a Polish refugee who was hidden from the Nazis in a hayloft, has married his former servant and savior Yadwiga. But Herman has more than one secret life: his neurotic mistress Masha has become his lover, and his first wife, Tamara (Anjelica Huston), thought dead, has unexpectedly reappeared in New York. As the film progresses, Herman becomes hilariously ensnared by his own web of falsehoods and half-truths in what is one of Paul Mazurky’s most accomplished and impressive films.-

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The director, Paul Mazursky, has gathered a superbly balanced cast and kept the action so smooth that the viewer is carried along on a tide of mystical slyness."
-
"Loosely constructed and at times enigmatic, but rich in characterization, texture, mood, tone and meaning."
-
"Mazursky and his co-writer, Roger Simon, have done a difficult adaptation job well, concentrating disparate elements of humour, sex and despair into a tragicomedy of unusual depth."
