    • Comment: Could run as a hook on Christmas, or Christmas Eve, or neither. I find the picture pretty fantastic. I was working on Draft:Jews and Christmas and ended up here – isn't it funny how that happens?

Lost film?

[edit]

The article says, "Modern analysis of The Jew's Christmas is based on contemporary writings about it, as well as Olden's novelization." Presumably that's because the film is lost, but the article never explicitly says that. Can we verify that the film is indeed considered lost? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:19, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Metropolitan90, I think you’re correct that this is a lost film, but as far as I can tell none of the currently cited sources say so explicitly. I’ll look for sourcing for that eventually, or you’re of course welcome to do so! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 03:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
