Winston G. Potter, Leslie Pap, New York, New York, 1972

Description

The original version of von Stroheim’s film, GREED, was over nine hours long. The 1924 released version, after brutal cutting, ran less than two-and-a-half hours. This book reconstructs, in 348 photographs and captions, the original—and now lost—film.
