A pity that none of his films exist in the form he intended, though I'm sure he was an absolute nightmare for producers to work with.
1. Foolish Wives - B+
2. Queen Kelly - B (Has some charming sequences, but is very chopped up and Von Stroheim was fired off the film before it was finished make it difficult to fully evaluate.)
Own: 0
I've seen all but the last 30 minutes or so of Greed and would give it a B+ based on what I saw. One of these days I'll break down and get Tivo. Would love to see The Wedding March.
Yes, Captain Hammer's here, hair blowing in the breeze. The day needs my saving expertise! - Captain Hammer, Corporate Tool
