The World Moves On 1934 DVD - Madeleine Carroll / Franchot Tone

The story begins 185 years ago, focusing on two families—cotton merchants based in England and America, with connections in France and Prussia. They pledge to support each other, believing that a strong business partnership across four countries can endure even catastrophic events like the Napoleonic Wars. As years pass, their unity and enterprises are tested anew by World War I and its aftermath.
