Erich von Stroheim both starred and
directed this thrilling silent drama about seduction and extortion. Con artist
Karamzin (von Stroheim) masquerades as Russian nobility and lives off the money
he scams from rich ladies who are attracted by his charms and his title. Having
set up shop in Monte Carlo, he and his partners in crime pick their next
target: the wife of an American diplomat (Miss
DuPont). Advertised as the “first million-dollar movie”, it was the most
expensive film ever produced upon its release. (1922, 143 mins)
