- Title
The Four Horsemen.
- Abstract
This article discusses the motion picture "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." The film showed a more subtle and therefore more persuasive anti-German sentiment. The story dealt with an Argentinian family with two daughters who respectively, wed a German and a Frenchman. The German takes his wife and their obnoxious, greedy, and over-disciplined children back to Germany, while the Frenchman takes his wife and their rakish but likeable son to Paris. The Germanic grandchildren, referred to as "glass-eyed and carrot-topped" by their grandfather, are raised in the tradition of loyalty and obedience to the teachings of the fatherland. Later in the war the worst aspects of the German characters emerge. German anger over resistance calls forth an indiscriminate bombardment of the village in which the French uncle lives.
