AvailableAs artistically brilliant as it is gleefully perverse, Foolish Wives, is Erich von Stroheim's epic-scale account of an American diplomat's wife who falls under the spell of a phony Russian count. With his trademark eye for visual metaphor and gritty detail, von Stroheim infuses the aristocratic splendor of Monte Carlo with an air of moral depravity. The result is a Grimm's fairytale romance that is no less fascinating today than it was 80 years ago. Notes: Also contains "The Man You Loved to Hate." It blends revealing interviews, rare photographs and clips from von Stronheim's legendary and lesser-known works to create a fascinating tribute to one of American cinema's most complex artists.. Director: Erich von Stroheim. Actors: Erich von Stroheim, Maude George, Mae Busch, Rudolph Christians, Miss Dupont, Dale Fuller, Cesare Gravina . Black and White. Country: USA. No Subtitles.
