	Erich von Stroheim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Von Stroheim himself claimed to be Count Erich Oswald Hans Carl Maria von Stroheim und Nordenwall, the son of Austrian nobility like the characters he played in his films.
		As a director, Von Stroheim was known to be dictatorial and demanding, often antagonizing his actors; he was one of the first filmmakers to fulfill the stereotype of the Teutonic tyrant, often wearing a monocle and carrying a riding crop while directing.
		Von Stroheim was married four times, the last to actress Denise Vernac, who had been his longtime secretary and companion for years before their marriage in 1957, shortly before his death.

		Von Stroheim traveled to Lake Tahoe where he worked for a time as a mountain guide, capturing the eye and eventually the financial support of Emma Bissinger, the wife of a wealthy San Francisco merchant.
		Von Stroheim was impressed by Griffith's attention to detail, his insistence on character development, and his sense of realism--all things that would eventually make von Stroheim legendary in his own quest for a place in filmmaking history.
		Von Stroheim got his first big break in 1915 when he came to the attention of Broadway director John Emerson, whose wife, Anita Loos, was a long-time scenarist for Griffith.

		Von Stroheim would go on to play a similar character in The Wedding March and his performance in that film has just the right mix of dissolute charm and attractiveness.
		Von Stroheim´s early works like Foolish Wives and this film were lurid melodramas that hovered between Griffith at his most sensationalistic and what might have resulted had someone let loose R. Crumb amid the ruins of the Hapsburg empire.
		Erich von Stroheim´s hand is still very much in evidence from the opulent settings of the Austrian aristocracy to the use of two members of his stock company, Dale Fuller and Cesare Gravina.

		That may be because Eric von Stroheim purposely worked to bring out the dark side of his character, to purposely become...
		Stroheim later referred to it as "the crime of Republic, the author of the screenplay, and the director." Nevertheless, this creepy little number, loosely based on Poe’s "The Premature Burial," has much to recommend it for genre fans.
		Of course, Eric von Stroheim is much better known for the masterful yet fatally flawed characters he brought to life in many memorable films.

		Von Stroheim broke all the rules, from casting comedy actress ZaSu Pitts as his tragic heroine, to using only locations, no studio sets, for every scene.
		Von Stroheim also showed a well-developed comic touch, particularly with the Sieppe family antics and the clumsy courting of Trina by McTeague.
		Von Stroheim initially suggested that it be shown in two installments and I think he was right.

	Lars von Trier
		As a child, von Trier was under the impression that everything was permitted except “feelings, religion and enjoyment”, three things his films would deliver in spades in his later rebellion.
		Von Trier's first three films – all presented in dazzling, baroque virtuosity – are a trilogy about a Europe that has been lulled to sleep in the midst of its own chaos and death.
		It seems to me that von Trier, as a Roman Catholic, is meditating on the face of justice presented in the Old Testament and the face of mercy presented in the New Testament.

		In the role of Max von Mayerling, Norma's butler-chauffeur and former director-husband, Wilder cast Eric von Stroheim.

		Nonetheless students of film and film buffs in general will not want to miss an opportunity to see this fascinating bit of late twenties Hollywood history, not least of all because it was the last studio project for the much-maligned Von Stroheim.
		Having sat by and watched his masterpiece Greed torn apart by financiers and having the plug pulled on this one by none less than his own leading lady, he can't but have felt betrayed by the enchroacing commercialism in a medium of which he was proving a consummate artist.
		Von Stroheim's characteristic concerns are present, as is his penchant for grotesquerie and his explicit contempt for society, hypocrisy, and repression.

		Her pretty face- and Fay is really beautiful throughout the whole picture- attracts Von and he makes fleeting glances at her without changing his position or relieving the stiffness of his military bearing.
		Von has a long scene with his mother (Maud George) during which each speaks titles that are necessary to plant the story.
		In the final version Nicki is presented as the roue that he was drawn in the original story, and all the scenes which developed that side of him were put back into the picture, with the result that it becomes a gripping story of a man's lust and a pure girl's love.

		In truth, his father, a Prussian Silesian, was listed on Stroheim's birth certificate as a maker and seller of hats, and his mother, of Czech origin born in Prague, was neither a lady-in-waiting to the Empress nor a baroness as Stroheim preferred to pretend she was.
		When the shooting was completed in December 1923, Stroheim invited a hand-picked few to a private showing of forty-five reels of his masterpiece ~ a showing that lasted from 10:30 in the morning until 8:00 that night.
		Stroheim then presented to the Goldwyn Company 42 reels of his work, and was promptly requested to cut it to a more reasonable length, wherein he obliged by further reducing it to 24 reels.

		Von Stroheim didn't want it shown because he didn't like the way it had been edited.
		He was supposed to make Von Stroheim feel happy if he was too tired, to pick up the spirit of the atmosphere.
		Certainly Von Stroheim was a poseur to some degree, with his white gloves and gold bracelets, a lot of things that you might say fit an image of himself.

	french new wave - september director of the month
		Eric Rohmer was born in the French town of Nancy on April 4, 1920 (some sources incorrectly say December 1).
		He had the wonderfully French name Jean-Marie Maurice Scherer, not adopting "Eric Rohmer" until the late 1940s as a somewhat unlikely combination of director Eric von Stroheim and novelist Sax Rohmer (creator of Fu Manchu).
		Adrien might be best off pulling the petals from a daisy and reciting, "She loves me, she loves me not." In Eric Rohmer's La Collectioneuse, Adrien is a layabout artist who retreats to a large country house when his girlfriend leaves for an extended business trip in England.

	Is Eric Von Stroheim a Really Good Director? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		He provides a setting so beautiful that in it the most exquisite love scene ever brought to the screen could be enacted- and he chops the scene into scores of close-ups that reveal him as lacking the ability to realize the possibilities that a more capable director would have grasped.
		I would estimate that there are between seven and eight hundred close-ups in the entire picture, proving that Von treated Griffith's discovery as wildly as he did Pat's bankroll.
		In another respect Von Stroheim shows himself to be a slave of motion picture conventions.

		Notorious womanizer Count Wladyslaw Sergius Karamzin (Erich Von Stroheim) rents a magnificent villa in Monte Carlo with his two female "cousins." The decadent trio share the lavish lifestyle available only to fabulously wealthy aristocrats.
		Beneath the veneer of respectability lurks an ugly secret - the trio are flat broke and finance their sumptuous existence through counterfeiting and the funds the Count is able to glean from the upperclass wives he coldly and very successfully seduces.
		Von Stroheim's pointed critique skewers both American dull-wittedness and European Old World decadence.

	La Grande Illusion (aka Grand Illusion)
		The two are imprisoned with other Europeans (all of whom speak their own languages) and follow the progress of the war from a distance while planning their escape.
		It does take on several varied characters and their individual stories in what amounts to a microcosmic study of the class structures and attitudes of 1930s France reconciled in a portrait of men at war which explores the illusions of self and nation which define them.
		Renoir's sensitive portrayal of the manners and rituals of gentle aristocrats who realise that they and their world are in decline provides the film with an emotional core contrary to the angrier mood of many Popular Front artists with whom Renoir had previously been affiliated.

		This gave her the chance to work with the legendary director Erich von Stroheim, and established Wray as a strong leading lady.
		During her time on the studio lot, she worked with such influential directors as William Wyler, Josef von Sternberg and Frank Capra.
		She was the helpless heroine of a succession of early horror classics, a curriculum vitae that qualified her to play against "the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood".

		There he finds himself confronted with fading, has-been screen legend Norma Desmond (the glorious Gloria Swanson), a loony recluse who had been a star of silent films, and who is now taken care of by her only companion, the stoic butler, Max (Eric Von Stroheim).
		Desmond has a plan to make a 'return' (she HATES the term 'comeback') to the screen in a film she has written herself: an epic based on the biblical figure, Salome, which she intends to have directed by her former director, Cecil B. DeMille.
		For Swanson, this film was a huge 'return', and though Holden had been working steadily, he was many years past his career-making early role in Golden Boy, while Eric Von Stroheim is playing a former director who has fallen from grace, mirroring his own real-life experience.

		Of course, as soon as you see Erich von Stroheim strutting his Teutonic stuff as Rommel ("five graves" is the code name for his secret battle plan), you know we are in for entertainment rather than current events.
