Background information
The film is interesting in terms of film history because it is one of the first films with a narrative plot. However, the film was made differently than the film title suggests, not at the Oberammergau Passion Play, but in America on the roof of the Grand Central Palace in New York . Elaborate backdrops were created for the film.
The film was shown on Broadway and in several churches as background music for the service . The film is also known to have originally been released on three film roles.
