Erich von Stroheim wrote and directed the silent film Greed in 1924, based on the novel McTeague by Frank Norris. The original film, one of the first films to be shot entirely on location, was almost 8 hours long. Only 12 people saw that version before Irving Thalberg had it cut to 2 and a half hours. Herman G. Weinberg has sought to recreate some sense of the missing original film by pairing stills with the original screenplay.
