'''''Mamele''''' ({{lang-yi|מאמאלע}}) is a [[Yiddish|Yiddish Language]] [[Cinema of Poland|Polish]] [[musical film]] made in [[1939 in film|1939]]. |
|||
==Synopsis== |
|||
The film revolves around Khavtshi Samet ([[Molly Picon|Picon]]), a [[Cinderella]] figure, who has taken on maternal responsibility for her family after the death of her mother — hence the title, Mamele, or 'little mother.' Khavtshi is required to shop, cook and clean up after her unappreciative family. Furthermore, she must keep her siblings out of trouble: her younger brother gets mixed up with crooks and her sister Berta (Bullman) has eyes for the gangster Maks Katz ([[Oppenheim|Menashe Oppenheim]]). Eventually Khavtshi's morale breaks, and she moves in with the handsome musician Schlesinger (Zayenda) across the courtyard. In this period of distress Khavtshi imagines the life of her grandmother in a dream-like song and dance sequence. The Samet family begs for Khavtshi to return, which she does with Schlesinger. The film closes with Khavtshi busy preparing the feast during her wedding.<ref name=MollyMetJoe>{{cite book|author1=Chaim Pevner|editor1-last=Paskin|editor1-first=Sylvia|title=When Joseph met Molly: A Reader on Yiddish Film|date=1999|publisher=Five Leaves|isbn=9780907123927|chapter=Joseph Green, the visionary of the golden age}}</ref> |
