Romance of a Jewess (Movie)

1908 / Director: D. W. Griffith / Avg Rating: 4.3 out of 10

This early D.W. Griffith short shows the director's interest in Jewish ghetto life, portrayed here with sympathy and sentimentality. The melodramatic plot involves the conflict between generations in an immigrant Jewish family.
