Watched the 2 1/2-hour version and thought it was outstanding, although it did carry some of the Magnificent Ambersons-type feeling where you knew you were missing something significant in spots. In sections, though, it is as brilliant as advertized. I need to see more from von Stroheim.

The Kino Video restoration is quite worth the view, but I hope we get a 4-hour DVD soon! This is truly a masterpiece, despite being so awfully cropped from its original intentions. Same with a lot of von Stroheim's films.

I feel so luck to have seen ANY iteration of this film, but the four-hour version had to suffice. I am constantly blown away by what was achieved in the early days of cinema that has still not been surpassed--or is so cribbed-from that we've seen scenes from it a thousand times already). The places this film takes its characters are incredible, and it boasts an ending to beat all endings. Greed is good.

Even though it is cut -- it is such a brilliant work -- completely enthralling and hypnotic. As far as I know -- not available on DVD? Such a crime.
