The Rothschilds
Drama97 min
During the Napoleonic era, the Rothschild family rises into the top ranks of European banking as its members build influence across courts, markets, and national borders. Erich Ponto and Carl Kuhlmann are among the principal faces in a dramatization focused on the family’s ascent and the suspicion surrounding Jewish power in Europe. Directed by Erich Waschneck, this 1940 German production is also an overt antisemitic propaganda film, shaping its portrait of the Rothschilds through the political aims of Nazi Germany.
