Among the many cool 436 inserts & 414 half-sheets closing in *MINUTES
*at *http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/13.html
<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/13.html>* is this great poster
from Die Herrin Der Welt 3. Teil - Der Rabbi Von Kuan-Fu (released in the
U.S. in 1922 as "Mistress of the World: The City of Gold")!
Never heard of this movie? It is the the 1919 Joe May German silent China
adventure thriller ("A series of four Paramount pictures"; "From the novel
by Carl Figdor") starring Mia May, Michael Bohnen, and Henry Sze. Note that
this movie was made in Germany, and is widely considered to be the first
"epic" German film ever made! It was released in eight parts in Germany
(but was released in the United States by Paramount in four parts,
combining two of the parts in each section, and each movie was presented as
though it was entirely separate from the others).
The plot of the movie is really wild. It seems that the Queen of Sheba gave
King Solomon a treasure that ended up in China, and there is a map that
leads to the treasure. A Danish woman answers an advertisement and goes to
China to be a governess (just like in "The King and I"), but she is
kidnapped when she gets there, and is forced to be a prostitute (not like
"The King and I"!). She has many adventures, including meeting "The Rabbi
of Kuan-Fu" (we are not sure what a rabbi was doing in China at this time),
and the rabbi has the treasure map, but he dies before he can fully explain.
After many more adventures, the young Danish woman finds the treasure and
becomes the richest woman in the world, and sets out to "rule the world".
She also seeks revenge against people who have wronged her, including
ruining their lives and driving them to suicide (shades of "The Count of
Monte Cristo"). Interestingly, the movie was going to be titled "The
Countess of Monte Cristo"!
The movie was directed by Joe May and starred his wife Mia May (she is the
only actor who appears in all of the eight parts. Because the eight parts
of the movie took place all over the world, the studio had to create a huge
number of elaborate sets. The movie cost many millions of dollars to
produce, and was the most expensive movie made in Germany to that time.
At the time it was made and in the next two decades, it was widely regarded
as one of the most important German movies ever, but in recent years, it
has become almost completely forgotten. Perhaps it will be "rediscovered"
someday, and assume its proper place in film history!
