Torockoi Menyasszony (1937)

Synopsis of Torockoi Menyasszony

Margit Dayka stars as Rozsi, an orphan girl who discovers upon reaching adulthood that she may be of Jewish parentage. The laws being what they were in Hungary in the 1930s, Rozsi's boyfriend Andris (Paul Javor) is worried that he won't be permitted to marry her. Deserted by Adnris, Rozsi resigns herself to her fate, befriending a kindly innkeeper who arranges for her adoption into a wealthy Jewish family. Finally, Andris determines that he's going to marry the girl, no matter what her religion -- but is saved from ostracism when he finds out that Rozsi isn't Jewish after all. The chances of this picture ever being revived are slim to none; even though the plotline promotes tolerance rather than racial divisiveness, it still intimates that there's something a bit wrong about not being 100 percent Christian. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
