The Jews of Prague under the subjugation of Emperor Rudolf II are poor and oppressed. There are increasing demands from the community that young Rabbi Jacob re-awaken the golem hidden in the synagogue attic, so that the giant creature of clay can help them in their time of need. But it is only after food riots, court intrigues and cruelty to fellow Jews that the rabbi's wife, Rachel, frees the monster from its chains, setting in motion a wave of total destruction ...

The Golem is a classic example of two different approaches to one substance. Werich came closest to the original V+W rendition in the early 1950s. In the mid-1930s, Duvivier had the upper hand and the Czechs could at least partially come close to the great historical films from abroad. Yet the Jewish legend of Prague as performed by the French will always be something a little different, precisely because of its view from the outside. However, thanks to some local actors in supporting roles (led by Truda Grosslichtová aka Tania Doll as Madame Benoit), a pleasant compromise was reached.
