Filming 'Greed' (1923)

This is a remarkable clip of cinematic history. I thought I'd add to my earlier comment. The best way to understand this cinematic giant is to find old periodical articles and books written in the 50s, 60s and 70s by people like Herman Weinberg and others. They actually knew Stroheim on a personal level and were probably instrumental in reviving his reputation in the post war era.

Here is a little known fact. Although this legendary epic was made in 1923, It had been made twice before. Both versions were produced before World War I.

I'm uploading the entire movie of greed onto my youtube accounjt if anyone is interested.

I have the whole movie on my computer as well as the Magnificent Ambersons. Both are in avi format but I have no clue as how to upload the entire four hour (restored) movie.
If someone could tell me how to break the movie into parts and then covert it to the format they use on youtube i'm sure I could then upload it for anyone interested in seeing it without having to wait for it to come on DVD or shell out lots of money for the videotapes on ebay.

yes we agree the crimes of Thalberg and MGM ..........But if Strocheim spended 3 millions dollars in .20 and the income was infime for the company..............eh! its a little? problem......probably this kind of legend open the now television week- drama serials ..........

OH GREED! I wanna see this!! does anyone have the whole movie posted? I just read the book and it was really good! ^^

It's true that the original 9 1/2 hour is lost? What a tragedy indeed. I had thought it was locked somewhere and just not shown because of its length and because most people today have no attention spans, the studios felt people would have no interest for it.

GREED is one of my favorite films. Hope THERE WILL BE BLOOD pays good homage to it!
