‎N.p.: N.p. 1922. Vintage reference photograph of Erich von Stroheim from the set of the 1922 film. <br/><br/>The legendary von Stroheim's third film as a director at time the most expensive film ever made and the first to cost over one million dollars although the original budget was $250000. The overruns led to the first of many clashes between von Stroheim and Irving Thalberg then just 21 years old and still in his first year as the head of Universal. Thalberg eventually shut down production and took over editing the film himself cutting nearly three hours from the footage in the first of several instances in the next few years that would assert the primacy of the studio over that of the director. <br/><br/>10 x 8 inches.

‎Greed Original herald for the 1924 film's premiere‎

‎Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1924. Vintage herald or broadside for the 1924 film. A clever and excessively rare bit of advertisement designed as a "Wanted" poster pulling together the main character from Frank Norris' novel John "Doc" McTeague a photo of "McTeague" Gibson Gowland and mention of a specific screening at San Francisco's Imperial Theatre on Market Street today the Market Street Cinema. <br/><br/>The first cut of Stroheim's "Greed" was a mammoth 9.5-hour presentation. All that survives today is a restored slightly choppy but coherent 240-minute version supplanted with still photographs that conveys to the viewer the unimaginable grandeur of the original. Very little paper advertisement has survived. The only poster that has ever surfaced is a disappointing window card showing none of the characters and this remarkable broadside the only example we have ever encountered. <br/><br/>13 x 6 inches.
