Ivanhoe ( US title: Rebecca the Jewess ) is the third film adaptation of the novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott . Directed by Leedham Bantock . The film was shot at Chepstow Castle .
The film is a retelling of selected events from Scott's novel. Presumably, the Welsh film company Zenith Film Company used the filming of IMP's eponymous production for its own adaptation. Filming locations were Wales , Chepstow Castle and Monmouthshire . The British production is considered a weaker version compared to the US version.
The film was reviewed in Moving Picture World 17 (p. 291) on January 17, 1914.
The film is only preserved as a fragment ; there is a scene in which the “beautiful and powerful” heroine Rebecca ( Ethel Bracewell ) passionately expresses her love for the knight Ivanhoe; the exact end of the film is not known.
