20th Century Pictures
Directed by Alfred L. Werker
My rating: 3 stars out of 4

(Turner Classic Movies)
A historical financial drama starring George Arliss as a money lender in Europe dealing with antisemitism and Napoleon. Sounds dull, but actually a quite involving story with a good period feel. Arliss is superb as the head of the banking Rothschild family, relentless in his pursuit of profit but generous when his country is threatened. Boris Karloff has a good supporting role as a racist banker. Loretta Young is the love interest.
