Or "The Wedding March" or "Greed". Von Stroheim was brilliant.I've always thought it was a supreme irony that the Academy Awards' lifetime achievement award for producers is named after Irving Thalberg. Thalberg was a bully and thug who, with the hateful Louis Mayer, set up the "studio System" that gave power to the producers and reduced directors to little more than camera - pointers. I hope Thalberg is burning in hell for his part in destroying Von Stroheim's "Greed"; a critic who saw Von Stroheim's 8 hour rough cut of "Greed" in 1927 said the film was not merely a great movie but was one of the supreme artistic achievements of man. Thalberg had 75% of "Greed" cut out by a hack editor.
