FOOLISH WIVES (pg)

Described “as artistically brilliant as it is gleefully perverse”, ‘Foolish Wives’ is Erich von Stroheim’s epic-scale account of an American diplomat’s wife (Mrs. Dupont) who falls under the spell of a phoney Russian Count (von Stroheim). It is the first film that cost $1-million to make and the result is a “Grimm’sfairy-tale-romance” that is no less fascinating today than it was in 1922.
