穆瑙是二○年代最神秘的德国导演，42岁（1931年）时因一场致命的车祸而丧生，许多人不解穆瑙为何坚持要以实景拍摄《吸血鬼》这部影片？为何他坚持要请当时名不见经传的麦斯许瑞克演出吸血鬼？制片艾宾葛劳与女演员葛莉塔许洛德在完成这部片后就在影坛销声匿迹？为何一场小小的版权官司，竟导致这部片在德国的拷贝全数被销毁呢？。In this notorious Nazi propaganda historical costume melodrama, a conniving, ambitious Jewish businessman, Suess Oppenheimer, snares a post as treasurer to the Duke of Wurttemburg by showering the corrupt duke with treasure and promises of even greater riches. As the Jew's schemes grow more elaborate and his actions more brazen, the dukedom nearly erupts into civil war. Persuaded by the Jew, the Duke all but scuttles the constitution and alienates the assembly by lifting the local ban on Jews in Stuttgart. In a final outrage, the Jew rapes a wholesome German girl and tortures her father and fiancee. When the Duke succumbs to a sudden heart attack, the assembly of Elders try the Jew and sentence him to death for having "carnal knowledge of a Christian woman." Summary written by Kevin Rayburn。
