Producer-Director Otto Preminger has a penchant for grand and explosive themes: the establishment of the Jewish nation in Exodus, Washington politics in Advise and Consent, race in Porgy and Bess.

Hugo Stinnes-usually referred to as der Junior in German headlines-is the son of the famous Ruhr industrial baron who died in 1924, leaving his empire to be run by his wife and two sons. Hugo worked with his mother and brother Otto to rebuild the Stinnes holdings after World War II, but did not get along with his kinfolk. He set out to build an industrial complex of his own, calling one of his two holding firms "Hugo Stinnes Personally Inc." to show his independence to the world.
