It is unfortunate from the historical point of view that the producers have seen fit to make Mr. Arliss's role far more pleasant on the screen than it was in actual life. Under Hollywood hands Nathan Rothschild becomes an heroic, altruistic, entirely admirable person. For example, the movie shows Rothschild risking every cent he possessed in a brave attempt to keep up England's credit by bolstering the falling Exchange, with market quotations dropping at every rumor...
