ABSTRACT:
For this version of THE GOLEM, Wegener returned to the
legend, setting the film in medieval Prague: Rabbi Loew
gives life to the Golem who falls in love with the Rabbi's
daughter and brings fear to the emperor's court. He is
destroyed by an innocent child who offers him an apple then
removes the Star of David from his chest, sending him
crashing to the ground.
