DESCRIPTION:

The Mortal Storm is the story of Hitlers rise to power as seen through the microcosm of one German family. What may seem small and personal is instead towering, a bold revelation of the brutality of the Nazi regime that so infuriated propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels that he banned all M-G-M movies in Germany. In their fourth and final teaming, Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart play sweethearts, evoking the tender, romantic empathy that always marked their work together. They lead a sterling cast in director Frank Borzages sweeping tale of the political and human chaos that rips a family apart, sets child against parent and lover against lover, and leads to savagery, sacrifice and heroism.
