As the film was released in the year after Hitler took power in Germany, I wonder was there an intention on the part of the directors to portray the anti-semitic policies of the Nazis in Germany, rather in the way Charlie Chaplin as director and leading actor intended his "The Great Dictator" to be a satirical portrayal of Hitler and the Nazi regime? The pogroms in Germany provoked by Ledrantz (a fictional character invented for the movie) appear to foreshadow what the Nazis were doing to Jews in Germany in the 1930s.Cloptonson (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have discovered an online article from The Forward, the US Yiddish journal, dated 2014 when it was being televised in the US, and titled 'Hollywood's Most Misunderstood and Forgotten Jewish Movie Returns', which shows that Zanuck (not Jewish) intended this film and produced it, against all opposition, as a warning on the dangers of resurgent anti-semitism exemplified in Germany. I will introduce it into this page.Cloptonson (talk) 05:57, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have introduced into 'Reception' summary detail of coverage in US journals with an example from Time, cited to The Record's article but it would be interesting, considering the focus on Nathan Mayer Rothschild and Britain, if examples of reception from British journals could be mentioned, remembering he had then (and still has) descendants living in the UK.Cloptonson (talk) 20:07, 26 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
