Einstein

Synopsis

A biography of Einstein using newsreel footage. A small part of the film is devoted to discussing Einstein’s contribution to physics; the major part deals with his life and the political context in which he lived. The film is of interest for its historical and political approach rather than for its coverage of scientific theories.
