Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe brief closing scene was shot in the newly developed three-strip Technicolor process; filmed in 1933, this was the first feature film to include such a sequence.
- GoofsThe gathering of all of the five sons of Mayer Rothschild on his deathbed never happened; the scene was a dramatic license taken by the writers. In reality, only two of his sons were present while the others were living in different European nations.
- Quotes
Nathan Rothschild: I lost the bid on a technicality.
Hannah Rothschild: A technicality?
Nathan Rothschild: Because I'm a Jew.
- Alternate versionsOlder television prints of "House of Rothschild" were totally in black-and-white, and did not show the final scene in its original Technicolor form. Most current TV prints have now restored the Technicolor finale.

Featured review
I also watched it the other day on the Fox Movie Channel and the final sequence was indeed not in color. That surprised me because I thought that surely their vault would have contained a print with the Technicolor finale.
About 15 years ago, the Castro Cinema here in San Francisco showed a series of 20th Century Fox classic films, all with 35 mm prints. The House Of Rothschild was shown with the beautiful Technicolor final sequence. The fact that it was not shown that way on the FMC was disappointing, but it was still great to see the film again, as it's so rarely shown.
