Erich von Stroheim (1885, Vienna - 1957, France) was an Austrian-American director, screenwriter and actor whose career spanned the silent era and the classical Hollywood period. As a director he was notorious for uncompromising perfectionism - his original cut of Greed (1924) ran over nine hours before MGM reduced it to two. As an actor he left his mark in Renoir's Grand Illusion (1937) and Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard (1950), the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
The film Queen Kelly (1929) in a new 4K restoration with newly discovered materials had its world premiere as a premiere film at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival (August 26, 2025).
The restored Queen Kelly was included in the Revivals section of the 63rd New York Film Festival as the North American premiere of the new 4K restoration.
Composer Denson was awarded the Jon Vickers Scoring Award for creating new original music for the restoration of the film Queen Kelly by Milestone Film & Video.
The four-hour reconstruction of Greed (1924) was re-released on TCM in September 2024 on the occasion of the centennial of the film's creation.
The film website Cinema of the World published a detailed analysis of Greed (1924) and the circumstances of the creation of the four-hour reconstruction from 1999.
