What happens
The Man They Scorned รจ un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Reginald Barker e prodotto da Thomas H. Ince per la Broncho Film Company. Soprattutto nelle comiche del tempo, lo stereotipo antisemita della "vigliaccheria" e della "debolezza" degli ebrei era spesso ripetuto con insistenza. Qui, in un contesto drammatico, le parti sono rovesciate e il protagonista ebreo, uno specie di moderno Ben-Hur, dimostra tutto il suo valore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
