Begun in 1923, "Greed" was to have been the masterwork of Erich von Stroheim. But his colossal ambitions for his picture were to be his undoing. In this volume, Jonathan Rosenbaum's detective work reconstructs the history of one of cinema's great ruins. His study of "Greed" reveals the seven-hour epic completed by Stroheim, the three-and-a-half hour version that Stroheim edited himself, and as the author sees it, the doomed butchered version finally released by MGM. This text is part of the "BFI Film Classics" series. Each volume in the series presents a personal commentary on the film, together with a brief production history and a detailed filmography, notes and bibliography.
