Intolerance [aka Love's Struggle Through the Ages] (1916) is a feature film (silent, B&W, 197m), directed by David W. Griffith.

Abstract

Made as an edict against intolerance, Griffith’s masterpiece interpolates four separate stories, three from history and one modern-day melodrama, to tell its tale.

The "Babylonian story" casts characters who are familiar to the Jewish tradition, such as the Babylonian Kings Nabonidus and Belshazzar and the Persian king Cyrus, and is largely inspired by the biblical story of Belshassar's Feast in the Book of Daniel, yet does not make any reference to the exiled Jews.

“The Judean Story”, which portrayed Jesus as victim of intolerance, is the shortest episode, yet pivotal to the entire plot.

Cast (Judean Story)

Howard Gaye = Jesus of Nazareth
Olga Grey = Adulteress
Lillian Langdon = Mary of Nazareth
Bessie Love = Bride of Cana
George Walsh = Bridegroom of Cana
Gunther von Ritzau & Erich von Stroheim = Pharisees
William Brown = Bride's father

Production

Produced in the United States (1916). Premiered in New York, NY: Liberty Theatre, 15 September 1916.
