About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1922. Vintage borderless satin-finish reference photograph from the 1922 film, showing director and actor Erich von Stroheim.
From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
The legendary von Stroheim's third film as a director, at time the most expensive film ever made, and the first to cost over one million dollars, although the original budget was $250,000. The overruns led to the first of many clashes between von Stroheim and Irving Thalberg, then just 21 years old and still in his first year as the head of Universal. Thalberg eventually shut down production and took over editing the film himself, cutting nearly three hours from the footage, in the first of several instances in the next few years that would assert the primacy of the studio over that of the director.
8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
