Synopsis
The Emperor and the Golem is a two-part Czechoslovak historical fantasy comedy film produced in 1951. The film was shot in color because of the international release and is set during the reign of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia (1583–1611) and takes place in Late Renaissance (Mannerist) Prague. It is one of the best known films of Jan Werich, who performed the dual roles of Emperor Rudolf and baker Matěj. The movie is still quite popular in Czech society due to its catchy songs and its impressive portrait of the Golem, a mythical anthropomorphic robot-like creature allegedly made from clay by the renowned Rabbi Loew.
