Desc: Mamele: Directed by Joseph Green, Konrad Tom. With Molly Picon, Edmund Zayenda, Gertrude Bulman, Max Bozyk. Mamele embraces the entire gamut of interwar Jewish life in Lodz - tenements and unemployed Jews, nightclubs and gangsters, religious Jews celebrating Sukkot - but the film belongs to Molly Picon who romps undaunted through her dutiful daughter role saving siblings, keeping the family intact, singing and acting her way through the stages of a woman's life from childhood to old age.
