BENNIE THE HOWL  (1926):

Isaac Babel's stories about the seamy Jewish underworld of Odesa is brought to life in this tale of a gangster king who uses murder and extortion to terrorize the city, until he and his gang team with the Bolsheviks and "reform" themselves by robbing enemies of the Revolution and expropriating private property and food in the name of Soviet power. Based on historical reality, the accurate depictions of Jewish criminals was a boon to creators of German propaganda against both Jews and Communists made in the decades thereafter.
