If there is in existence such a thing as a league or club of international bankers, made up of the Morgans, the Warburgs, the Barings, and the rest, the least that such a club should do in the near future is to bestow a handful of gold medals upon the producers and cast of "The House of Rothschild." Some such expression of gratitude is certainly due for this picture, which is an almost lyrical tribute to the nobility, self-sacrifice, and unwavering patriotism of their group. The screenplay that Nunnally Johnson, once a respectable New York newspaperman, has fashioned out of the early history of the Rothschilds is indeed one of the most ingenious pieces of large-scale whitewashing that the films have seen in a long time.
