Al Chet (I Have Sinned) was filmed in the Yiddish language, one of several such productions made in Poland before the tragic intervention of Hitler. The heroine is Esther (Rachel Holscher), a farm girl who falls in love with a dashing army officer. When the officer is killed in battle, Esther is left unmarried and very pregnant. The grief-stricken girl abandons her baby and leaves for parts unknown. Years later, Esther, now a wealthy and well-connected woman, returns to her village to reclaim her child, now a grown woman in love with an aspiring violinist. Without ever revealing her identity, Esther paves the way for her daughter's lasting happiness. The traditional self-deprecating comedy relief is in the hands of the team of Zigan and Schumacher, helpfully billed in the credits as "The Comedians." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
