Moishe Oysher,
the renowned cantor and star of Yiddish radio, stars in Edgar G. Ulmer’s
musical version of David Pinski’s play Yankl
der Shmid. Singing, dancing, and flashing his eyes, Oysher
gives his most robust performance as a passionate shtetl blacksmith
who must struggle against temptation to become a mensch. Recently rediscovered
footage makes this the most complete extant version of Ulmer’s lively
folk operetta, replete with an example of Yiddish swing.

and richly Jewish characters taken from the source.”

and adds to the gayety of Jewish life.”
– Daily Worker
“…bright,
frequently thrilling entertainment.”
– Brooklyn Eagle
“…fine
photography and good direction make the film an outstanding comedy-drama.”
– Daily News
