Excellent historical drama about one of the largest banking institutions in the world. A film about banking and the British stock market wouldn't normally be my cup of tea but this has other elements to it. Defeating Napoleon was central to the story. Money helps win war! And money got the Rothschild family out of the ghetto in 1790's Frankfurt in Prussia. I had no idea that ghettos and such intense hatred for the Jews went back that far. "Jew Street" was hell. Very sad. Anti-Semitism is another huge part of the movie. Hollywood thought this was good enough for an Oscar nomination for Best Picture and probably deservedly so!
