Based On The Prize-Winning Play

Emil Bruckner, a young German boy who has been indoctrinated in Nazi propaganda, is sent to live with mild-mannered American uncle (Academy Award-winner Fredric March) in this critically acclaimed World War II classic.

Now a rigid proponent of the Third Reich, Emil wreaks havoc on the whole community -- belittling his uncle's Jewish fiancée, lashing out violently at his cousin, stirring up hatred in his school classroom -- while his family struggles to counter the insidious Nazi influence.

Based on the prize-winning Broadway play, and co-written by the Oscar-winning writer Ring Lardner, Jr. the film remains a fascinating look at the battle between bigotry and tolerance and movingly portrays the personal effects of Hitler's chilling declaration: "Today Germany, Tomorrow - The World."
