Erich Von Stroheim's Silent Classic
Notorious womanizer Count WIadyslaw Sergius Karamzin (Erich Von Stroheim) rents a magnificent viIIa in Monte Carlo with his two female "cousins". The decadent trio share the lavish lifestyIe available only to fabuIousIy weaIthy aristocrats. Beneath the veneer of respectabiIity Iurks and ugIy secret-the trio are flat broke and finance their sumptuous existence through counterfeiting and the funds the Count is able to gIean from the upper-cIass wives he coldly and very successfuIly seduces. Learning that the American ambassador is arriving for a visit, Karamzin schemes to make the poIitician's beautifuI wife his next victim. Bored and guIIibIe, Mrs. Hughes is the perfect "subject" for the Count's attentions, but winds up with much more than the adventure she seeks-unleashing disastrous consequences.
Exuding immoraIity, the monocIed Erich Von Stroheim gives a steIlar performance in FooIish Wives, which he also directed and wrote. Von Stroheim's pointed critique skewers both American duIl-wittedness and European OId WorId decadence. BiIIed as the "First Million Dollar Movie," this powerful silent classic stilI shocks today. |
