An aging Jewish merchant, saddened by the mechanization of his now-modern shop, decides to leave London for the countryside. “All American companies distributing in Britain were required by law to produce a certain percentage of British films every year.... Mr. Cohen Takes a Walk, though directed by an American, is (thoroughly British)--and a delight. Unfortunately, it fared rather badly.... Such emphatically Jewish stories, even of such universal appeal as here, were never popular in England.... The gentle charm and rural scenics, once the walk gets underway, are so pleasing that it's a pity Mr. Cohen's promenade didn't begin earlier.... It's a quiet and civilized little picture, with even the labor disputes that form part of the story being conducted on a note of gentlemanly decorum. Paul Graetz, an excellent actor who played good character roles in many British films but was wasted in bits (G-Men, etc.)...in Hollywood, here has his best and certainly biggest film role.” William K.
