Summary:
"Veit Harlan's vicious anti-semitic costume epic, "Jud Süss," the cinematic curt[r]ain-raiser for the Final Solution during the Holocaust includes the complete uncut German language version subtitled into English with new colorized subtitles. First generation state-of-the-art digital transfer from an original 35mm archival film print supplied courtesy of the National Archives in Washington, D.C. -- produced from a fine graine master 35mm restoration print."--Verso case. This notorious Nazi propaganda historical costume melodrama is based on the Nazi version of the novel of the same title by Lion Feuchtwanger, which is based on the real historical character of Josef Süss Oppenheimer who was a Jewish tax adviser to Karl Alexander during the early 1700's and was publicly executed in Stuttgart for manipulation of state funds.
