  1. "He was also one of the world's first pornographic actors and directors."

    This is a false smear against Bernard Natan. While he was definitely a Jew, he was not a porno director or actor. The documentary film "Natan" evaluates these charges and finds them baseless. Unsubstantiated slander in a time of strong anti-Semitism helped destroy his reputation and eventually his life.

    The Guardian has a good review of the film, including history about Bernard Natan's real place in cinema, here:
