Storyline
Plot Summary |
The story of the rise of the Rothschild financial empire founded by Mayer Rothschild and continued by his five sons. From humble beginnings the business grows and helps to finance the war against Napoleon, but it's not always easy, especially because of the prejudices against Jews.

Trivia | The brief closing scene was shot in the newly developed three-strip Technicolor process; filmed in 1933, this was the first feature film to include such a sequence. See more » |
Goofs | The gathering of all of the five sons of Mayer Rothschild on his deathbed never happened; the scene was a dramatic license taken by the writers. In reality, only two of his sons were present while the others were living in different European nations. See more » |
