This movie had subtitles but it was still hard for me to understand the story cause it was complicated. It was portraying the father and his sons as being dishonest bankers It involves cheating in investments based on the Napoleon war. A lot of conniving. Erich Pronto plays the father and the mayor of Frankfurt. The money that he was being given to help some official instead he's going to use it to get wealthy with the aids of his sons. Carl Kuhlmann plays Nathanel. One of the sons. He going to cheat on investor by claiming that the war was lost. I think. so he can buy shares real cheap. there is one scene in which one bank official tells another one not to be prejudice against Jewish in the banking. Which is contrary to anti Semitic propaganda in Nazi films.There are romantic characters which are equivalent to the Loreta Young and Robert young characters in the American Version.But the women character is Harriet.played by Ursula Dienert,is not Nathan Rothschildes daughter but the daughter of a banker played buy jolly big actor stalwart Albert Florath. Who he disapproves his daughter being in love with a certain man, who is not related to the Rothschildes. But with the aid of Mrs Turner,played by Hilde Weissner, she and her love end up getting married in spite of disapproval.Carl, who played Marika Rokks uncle in Women make much better diplomats,tries to flirt with Mrs Turner but she resist his advances. As I said the story gets more complicated. By today standards this movie is just subjective except for the false liberal censors in Germany and the back stabbing conservative in the United States, Sneaky bigots go after word not action. This is a good movie
