剧情简介：
1940德国剧情传记片《霍特希尔德家族的滑铁卢股份》由Erich Waschneck导演，Carl Kuhlmann主演，影片讲述的是：
The Rothschilds was the first of three stridently antisemitic movies made in 1940 under the Nazi regime A purportedly historical account of the Rothschild familys rise to fortune set mostly in Great Britain during the Napoleonic wars the movie reflected a wildly ambitious racialpolitical agenda Beyond its indictment of Jewish intrigue and avarice The Rothschilds aimed to show the Judafication of British society at Rothschild hands and thus demonstrate why in Joseph Goebbels words Britons had become the Jews among Aryans Yet the films dramatic conventions did not always mesh with its racial politics and when the film was released in July 1940 German audiences were left unclear as to just who they were mainly supposed to hate Goebbels had it pulled from distribution a year later a muchrevised version purged of any conceivable sympathies for its British characters was released The revamped movie was renamed The Rothschilds Shares in Waterloo this is the version presented on this DVD But by the time of its rerelease the movies moment had passed Germanys air war with Britain was winding down to an inglorious end while at home a new wildly popular film Jud Süss had become the regimes preferred vehicle for whipping up antisemitic feeling
If in the end The Rothschilds proved a less effective incitement to hate it wasnt for lack of trying With its striking juxtaposition of Nazi social criticism and racial theory its twin assaults upon Jewish and British character and its deft recycling of many key myths surrounding the House of Rothschild this film deserves far more notoriety than has been its due Directed by Erich Waschneck Music by Johannes Müller featuring Carl Kulmann Hilde Weissner and Giesela Uhlen
