it feels like some one was there when it happened with a camera, actually the film is based on the pictures of Tissot, a french painter that years before of this film went to Palestine and stayed there for years painting a lot of wonderfull and detailed drawings of Jesus lyfe and ministry, search it on the web and you will see it clearly, and both, Tissot paintings and the films are based also in the descriptions of Ane Catherine Emmerich about our Lord passion, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is something about these silent films that gives the Jesus movies like this one a much more deeper meaning. Maybe its is use of darkness and light and shadows that give it a aura of holy mystery, or the fact they used actual church hymns and gospal music from a organ piano. Either way its beautiful.
These silent films are really cool, there is a movie theater in this town I used to live in that once played the old fashioned silent films and even had thier own piano player for the music and ambiance. The Passion of the Christ has nothing on this :)
Then the following videos, up to a whole of 70 minutes reproduce the movie of 1912 without any changes.
And then the surprise comes: in the video n. 9, to 7 minutes: CUTED the real end from "From the manger...", that is a announce the future resurrection (because the movie is "to the cross"), and it was replaced by an assembly of 4 minutes of scenes of the resurrection and ascension taken from the Italian movie "Christus", of G. Antamoro, without the references to this movie.
The first video reproduces the first 10 minutes of "From the manger to the cross", 1912.
The second video reproduces exactly the same, but preceded by a cartel that corresponds to another movie, and that says clearly (in Roman numeration) 1932 (MCMXXXII)... but it is only the cartel, because what it continues is the first part of "From the manger to the cross" again.
I enjoyed viewing the clip From the 1916 film, From The Manger To The Cross. Especially in the form of black and white. It was portrayed with much sensitivity by all actors concerned.

This assembly is not correct:
The first video reproduces the first 10 minutes of "From the manger to the cross", 1912.
The second video reproduces exactly the same, but preceded by a cartel that corresponds to another movie, and that says clearly (in Roman numeration) 1932 (MCMXXXII)... but it is only the cartel, because what it continues is the first part of "From the manger to the cross" again.

This is also titled FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS. I guess it from 1912, hm?
