Die Herrin Der Welt 4. Teil - Konig Macombe (released in the U.S. in 1922 as "Mistress of the World: Saved By Wireless"), the 1919 Joseph Klein & Uwe Jens Krafft German silent China adventure thriller (based on the novel by Karl Figdor) starring Mia May, Michael Bohnen, Lewis Brody, Nien Soen Ling, and Henry Sze. Note that this movie was made in Germany, and is widely considered to be the first "epic" German film ever made! It was released in eight parts in Germany (but was released in the United States by Paramount in four parts, combining two of the parts in each section, and each movie was presented as though it was entirely separate from the others). The plot of the movie is really wild. It seems that the Queen of Sheba gave King Solomon a treasure that ended up in China, and there is a map that leads to the treasure. A Danish woman answers an advertisement and goes to China to be a governess (just like in "The King and I"), but she is kidnapped when she gets there, and is forced to be a prostitute (not like "The King and I"!). She has many adventures, including meeting "The Rabbi of Kuan-Fu" (we are not sure what a rabbi was doing in China at this time), and the rabbi has the treasure map, but he dies before he can fully explain. After many more adventures, the young Danish woman finds the treasure and becomes the richest woman in the world, and sets out to "rule the world". She also seeks revenge against people who have wronged her, including ruining their lives and driving them to suicide (shades of "The Count of Monte Cristo"). Interestingly, the movie was going to be titled "The Countess of Monte Cristo"! The movie was directed by Joe May and starred his wife Mia May (she is the only actor who appears in all of the eight parts). Because the eight parts of the movie took place all over the world, the studio had to create a huge number of elaborate sets. The movie cost many millions of dollars to produce, and was the most expensive movie made in Germany to that time. At the time it was made and in the next two decades, it was widely regarded as one of the most important German movies ever, but in recent years, it has become almost completely forgotten. Perhaps it will be "rediscovered" someday, and assume its proper place in film history.
