Error on IMDB?
Hello,
I just bought the DVD and ... I "discover" that the film is directed by Paul Weneger and Carl Boese, and Henrik Galeen is the co-writer and not the director.
Is this true?
Thanks
From what I understand, Weneger and Boese were the directors and Galeen was the writer, like the DVD liner says. Boese was actually the "technical" end of Weneger's imagination. Weneger would say what he wanted, and Boese thought up how to do it.
'Course, this only applies to the 1921 version "Der Golem", not the 1915 version which is what this message board is for. There's a lot of confusion as to which movie is which. The 1915 and 1917 versions are both lost.
Hi,
I wrote this cuz I bought the DVD of the 1915's version, and the "credits" say in this way ... who knows ...

If the 1915 and 1917 versions are lost, why are there video distributors...
shareAll that remains of the first and second movies are still photographs. The third version is readily available, though.
share"The 1915 version of the film was lost until a print was found in the collection of a private owner."
Wikipedia has spoken.

Wikipedia must have withdrawn that statement, because it wasn't there when I looked. Unless it's under a different heading than "Golem." Can you post the link?

Here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golem_%28film%29 It's at the bottom of the "Other versions" section.

Like this website, Wikipedia is written by users, and can contain erroneous statements.
Note that that article now has been flagged as needing a citation for that remark, since none was given.
There is an entry on this version that says a private collector made a copy of this in the 50's on the following website :

unless it too is in error. If true it would be nice to hear more about it or better yet see it.

I've heard that rumor, but it turned out to be the 1920's version, not the 1915 version.
I've heard various rumors regarding this, with various people saying they have found the 1915 version, but in every lead it turns out to be the 1920 version. I've even been unable to locate the screenplay, which is rumored to still exist but only in hardcopy form in a private collection.
You'd think it would be pretty easy to tell, one set in the old days and the lost one being set in a modern(1910s) department store.
shareThank you. I really should check back sooner, after I ask my fellow bloggers a question. :)
