The Emperor and the Golem (Czech: Císařův pekař a pekařův císař - "Emperor's baker and baker's emperor" literally) is a two-part Czech historical comedy film produced in 1951. It was originally directed by Jiří Krejčík, but after disputes with the leading actor Jan Werich, Jiří Krejčík was replaced by Martin Frič. In addition to the two-part version, a 112-minute long one-part international (US) version was produced, with most propaganda flavoured scenes cut out (songs). The film was filmed in color (not common for Czechoslovak films in that period) because of the international release.

The film is set during the reign of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor. It is one of the best known film with Jan Werich (performing a dual role of Emperor and baker).

Synopsis

Rudolf is obsessed with finding the Golem. He and his inventor Scotta later accidentally stumble upon him while performing a magic ritual (not as its result). But he does not have the Shem and cannot awake him.

The film is a biographical account of Czech operatic soprano Emmy Destinn's life. The primary focus is on the singer's return from USA in 1914, and her subsequent involvement in the Czech patriotic resistance against Austria-Hungary during the WWI.
