Note that this was an epic five hour silent black and white movie! Perhaps because of the coming of sound, the movie was soon forgotten (similar to Abel Gance's Napoleon), and it is completely forgotten today! The story is incredibly complex, and borrows from The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Wandering Jew is apparently a parable for the cholera epidemic that swept Europe, killing everyone in its path.
