| Notes: Director: William Dieterle; Even though the movie won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, it is still amazing how a movie that dealt with the infamous Dreyfus Affair has managed to completely avoid the issue of anti-Semitic injustice which is, after all, at the very heart of this story! Having been made in 1937, after the Nazi Party had taken power in Germany, it is a prime example of Hollywood's timidity at the time to deal with any Jewish subject, let alone anti-Semitism, lest Gremany might get offended. |
