Overlong but never boring third film from Von Stroheim. A trio of Russian shysters posing as nobility in Monte Carlo pick an American couple as their next cover/conquest with disastrous results. Von Stroheim's performance as Count Karamzin is quite affecting as is his visual sense as a filmmaker well captured here by dp(s) Daniels and Reynolds. An interesting curio.

It's the acting in Stroheim's films which really impresses me. He captures these subtle and intimate gestures and exchanges between his characters. It totally dispels the erroneous idea that somehow silent film acting was over the top.

lo que sobrevive es asombroso, la concepción de toda el filme en el eje del mal, es soberbia

A high point in silent film production. Magnificent production values, an intelligent, adult script. I always recommend this as a good introduction silent cinema.
