Emil Bruckner, a young German boy who has been indoctrinated in Nazi propaganda, is sent to live with his mild-mannered American uncle (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 while his family struggles to counter the insidious Nazi influence. Based on the prize-winning Broadway play, 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."
