Add to a movie listThe Prussian Cur (1918) was an American anti-German silent propaganda film produced during World War I. Now considered a lost film, it is notable for telling the story of the Crucified Soldier.
The film's director Raoul Walsh called it his "rottenest picture ever" for its anti-German sentiment, while its star Miriam Cooper (Walsh's wife) also held it to be the worst film in which she had ever appeared.
The film was shot in Fort Lee, New Jersey where Fox and many other early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based at the beginning of the 20th century.

As described in a film magazine, Jim Kelly (Walsh), a resident of New York City's Ninth Ward and a bricklayer, is one of the men selected in the first draft for World War I. He goes forth eagerly and his ability and daring soon win him a high rank in the army. Harold Whitley (Bailey), a wealthy idler and tango king, trains for a captaincy and wins it. His unfitness for such a position is soon discovered and he is reduced in rank. Jim's regiment goes to Europe and with the downing of six German airplanes and several minor victories to his credit he becomes the "Pride of New York." Pat, a young woman of New York's millionaire class, has gone to Europe to become a nurse. She meets Jim and becomes interested in him because of his bravery and patriotism. When Jim rescues her from the clutches of a German prince, she is grateful and naturally they fall in love.
