The Mortal Storm Movie (1940) Trailer - Plot synopsis: The Roth family leads a quiet life in a small village in the German Alps during the early 1930s.

When the Nazis come to power, the family is divided and Martin Breitner, a family friend, is caught up in the turmoil.

Director: Frank Borzage Writers: Claudine West, Hans Rameau, George Froeschel Stars: Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Robert Young Masterful director Frank Borzage’s brilliance behind the camera empowers this story of Hitler’s rise to power as seen through the microcosm of one German family.

What on the surface seems small and personal, is instead a towering bold revelation of the brutality of the Nazi regime.

James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan lead an impressive cast in a sweeping tale of the political and human chaos that rips a family apart, leading to savagery, sacrifice, and ultimately heroism.
