Queen Kelly
Author: Erich Von Stroheim
Publisher: Rlpg/Galleys
ISBN:
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Critics often consider the silent movie Queen Kelly to be the downfall of director von Stroheim, but he was unable to complete the movie to match the original screenplay or even a revised version, leaving the film's star Gloria Swanson to tack on a short ending that she devised in order to try to make some money out of the film. This volume presents the screenplay of the film and includes all three endings, which perhaps will lead critics to reevaluate von Stroheim's work on Queen Kelly.

Greed
Author: Jonathan Rosenbaum
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1838715991
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
Greed is a legendary film begun in 1923. It was to have been Erich von Stroheim's masterwork, but his colossal ambitions were to be his undoing. His obsession with realistic detail and determination to extract every ounce of drama from his source, Frank Norris's novel McTeague, stretched the shooting schedule to inordinate lengths, resulting in a film which ran for over seven hours. Jonathan Rosenbaum has made a meticulous study of all the sources. In a fascinating piece of detective work, he reconstructs the history of one of cinema's greatest ruins.
