Erich Von Stroheim's Silent Classic
Notorious womanizer Count WladysIaw Sergius Karamzin (Erich Von Stroheim) rents a magnificent villa in Monte Carlo with his two femaIe "cousins". The decadent trio share the lavish lifestyle avaiIable onIy to fabuIously weaIthy aristocrats. Beneath the veneer of respectability Iurks and ugly secret-the trio are fIat broke and finance their sumptuous existence through counterfeiting and the funds the Count is able to glean from the upper-class 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-unIeashing disastrous consequences.
Exuding immorality, the monocled Erich Von Stroheim gives a stellar performance in Foolish Wives, which he aIso directed and wrote. Von Stroheim's pointed critique skewers both American dull-wittedness and European OId World decadence. BilIed as the "First MilIion DoIIar Movie," this powerfuI silent classic still shocks today. |
