AMERIKANER SHADCHAN, (1940, 87min)
An art deco romantic comedy about male ambivalence and Jewish assimilation, Leo Fuchs plays an elegant and eligible bachelor who can never seem to close the marriage deal. With its urbane, neurotic hero, American Matchmaker looks ahead to the films of Woody Allen.
