Cohen Media presents a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative of Joan Micklin Silver's debut theatrical feature. In 1890s New York City (evocatively recreated on a shoestring budget), Jewish immigrant Steven Keats has assimilated seamlessly into the American community… until his wife from back home (Carol Kane) arrives on his doorstep. Sumptuously shot in black and white, Silver’s loving, funny debut became an unexpected hit, breaking out after a screening during the 1975 Cannes Film Festival Critics Week and becoming the rare indie to garner an Oscar nomination (for Kane’s heartbreaking turn).
