Two vintage studio still photographs from the set of the 1964 film, both showing director Sidney Lumet on location in New York City. From the collection of Joel Finler Based on the 1961 novel. A powerful, brooding film in which Rod Steiger stars as a Jewish pawnbroker in Harlem, haunted by his memories of World War II Nazi concentration camps. One of the first Hollywood films to dramatize the psychological impact of concentration camps, and the first to take the point of view of a Holocaust survivor. The film met with controversy, as it was the first major American release to feature female nudity. Because the nudity was non-exploitative, it passed the Production Code (still in existence), though interestingly this milestone came near the end of the Production Code era. Set in New York, and shot there on location. Much of the filming took place on Park Avenue in Harlem, where the pawnbroker shop was set at 1642 Park Avenue, near the intersection of Park Avenue and 116th Street. Scenes were also filmed in Connecticut, Jericho, New York, and Lincoln Center (with both interior and exterior shots of the Lincoln Towers apartments, which were new at the time). 10 x 8 inches.
