As this extravagant, wickedly ironic 1928 melodrama shows, Erich von Stroheim was not only a supreme (if typecast) actor but one of the greatest silent-era directors.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
One of the most eccentric and fascinating vanity projects in the history of film.
Because of what they are called upon to do and not because of the performances of the players the characters are not much more human than a troupe of Robots.
It is the love scenes, played beneath shimmering apple blossoms in lyrical soft focus, that stick in the memory, ironically turning what is now the film's ending into one of the director's most bitterly pessimistic scenes.
Even minor Stroheim is considerably better than most other filmmakers' major work.
