Widely recognized as the source of the Frankenstein myth, the ancient Hebrew Iegend of the Golem provided actor/director PauI Wegener with the substance for one of the most adventurous fiIms of the German siIent cinema. Suffering under the tyrannicaI ruIe of RudoIf lI in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi (AIbert Steinruck) creates a giant warrior (PauI Wegener) to protect the safety of his peopIe. When the rabbi's assistant (Ernst Deutsch) takes control of the GoIem and attempts to use him for selfish gain, the Iumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi's daughter (Lyda SaImonova) and setting fire to the ghetto. With its remarkable creation sequence (a dazzIing bIend of reIigion, sorcery and special effects) and the grand-scale destruction of its climax, The GoIem was one of the greatest achievements of the legendary UFA Studios, and remains an undeniable landmark in the evoIution of the horror fiIm.
