Le Golem

Le Golem is a 1936 French monster movie filmed in Prague, Czechoslovakia and directed by Julien Duvivier.

Friedrich Gaston Jacquest, the prefect of the police informs Rudolph of the Golems disappearance. Rabbi Jacob is brought to into the palace by Rudolph and told if any Jews are found in relation with the Golems disappearance, then they will be hung. Rachel seeks De Trignac to aid Jacobs escape from the castle. De Trignac offers what he claims to be Charlemagnes sword for Jacobs release. After Jacob and De Trignac leave, Rudolph wanders his palace where he meets up with the Golem. After a failed polite gesture to the statue, Rudolph attacks it with his sword and has it chained to the walls of his dungeon. Rudolph then demands all Jewish leaders be imprisoned and executed, including Jacob. Rachel had learned previously from her Jacob that when a beast roars the Golem will awake. As people enter the palace to honour Rudolph, Rachel gets the lions near the Golems cell to roar. Rachel carves the Hebrew word emet, meaning truth on the Golems forehead which brings the creature to life.The Golem snaps his chains and causes panic through the palace along with the released lions. Friedrich and many other of Rudolphs other advisors are attacked and killed by the golem while Rudolph escapes the palace. Jacob erases the first Hebrew letter on the Golems head which now spells dead making the Golem disintegrate while Rudolphs benevolent brother Mathias approaches Prague. ........
