User review:

I saw this film in the early ’80s. The Public Broadcasting System thought it worthy of airing in the Boston area. A truly remarkable and irrepressible little boy is adopted by an old Jewish couple. (I read that the director of the movie interviewed over 1000 children to find the little actor in this story.) The movie is filmed in Hungary just before the Nazi invasion. The country village is colorful and charming. Yet one knows what is coming. The ominous foreboding is off set by the wonder of the relationships. He collects frogs in a bucket and accidentally lets the out in the kitchen. Then the fun of catching them. The couple teach this little gentile their rich Jewish traditions. And then the inevitable… As a gentile, I found the Jewish life -wonderful. And because of it, have become hooked on Jewish film festivals. I love this film and want to see it again!

    This is a really good movie but with a sad ending that you know is coming all along. An old Jewish couple in Hungary, during WWII, adopts a gentile (non-Jewish) boy to inherit their wealth when the Nazis come to haul them away due to the holocaust. The boy is unruly at first and doesn’t want to be there, but ends up loving his adopted parents. They raise him with their values and traditions and lots of love until finally, the inevitable. It’s a must see.

    A good film.if a little disjointed. An interesting idea of a Jewish coiplecwsntingbtonadoptba Christian boy in Nazi Europe, so that he could inherit their possessions.
