On the Brink of Paradise (Template:Langx/ transl: On the Ruins of Paradise[1]) is a 1920 German 90-minute film directed by Josef Stein and featuring Carl de Vogt in the title role of Kara Ben Nemsi.[2] Béla Lugosi was thought to have appeared in a supporting uncredited role, but this is disputed.[3][1]
The film was an adaptation of part of the 1892 Karl May novel Von Bagdad nach Stambul[2] and is now considered to be lost. This film was followed by a sequel Caravan of Death (1920), which went on to adapt the latter part of the same Karl May novel (Bela Lugosi did co-star in the sequel, playing a shiek).[1]
Plot
Kara ben Nemsi and his servant Halef Omar come across a group of Persians headed to Baghdad, led by Prince Hassan Ardžir-Mírza. The Persians are attacked by their enemies, the Kurds. Prince Hassan discovers there is a traitor among his people. Kara ben Nemsi offers to help guard the caravan on its journey to Baghdad.
