As fascism visibly gained ground in the 1930s, Jewish culture and identity in Central Europe were increasingly under siege. In response to these harbingers of the Shoah, the Polish-American director Joseph Green created this exuberant musical comedy, which would be the most successful Yiddish film ever made. In the leading role he cast the legendary Molly Picon. The film was shot on location in Kazimierz, Poland, with the people of the local shtetl as extras. The infectious songs later became an intrinsic part of Yiddish culture.
