Walter Huston, in the role of Stuyvesant, superb actor that he is, finds himself way over his head without a singing voice. The love interest is carried adequately, but no more than that, by Jean Madden and Richard Kollmar; the script gives them nothing to do, and Mr. Kollmar faces tremendous odds when he is called upon to plead the ancient American axiom that men are not true men unless they think for themselves...

They wrote a scene in which a poor Jew proclaimed his love for Germany, another in which a rich Jew refrained from cheating three young gentiles, a scene in which famed books, including Remarque's, were burned by Nazis.
