Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzOnly stands as an incomplete work that represents what might have been great if so much of it wasn't missing.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Donald J. LevitA compelling curiosity deserving recognition beyond trivia value as the 'Sunset Boulevard' clip projected by Gloria Swanson's faded Norma Desmond.
User Review - 10/10 by Rafaele LMaster filmmaker Erich von Stroheim turns his vast talent and genius in this odd masterpiece about desire and obsession.
User Review - 10/10 by Jason DDeliciously kinky and debauched romance of S&M proportions, set in a vaguely European but also very American, dictatorial Principality (think Lick-My-Stein, more than Liechtenstein) that sees Convent Girl Gloria Swanson go to the bad when her knickers fall down in front of horny Prince Walter Byron while he is out on maneuvres. He makes the moves on her later that night, then the mad Queen who is his keeper chases her out of the Palace with a whip and...just when it got interesting, Swanson (who was also producing with then lover Joe Kennedy, the President's Dad) fired director Erich von Stroheim as she felt the rest of script (it saw her bunking off to Africa to run her Aunt's brothel) was too saucy for the critics. A definite must watcch to piece together the clips left all over the world (even in Swanson's comeback, Sunset Boulevard, 20 years later) and see a master of naughty social commentary in fine form. It looks beautiful, it feels cruel, it would have been von's world cinema masterpiece but instead remains a tantalisingly naughty, vapour-inducing stump of masochistic silliness
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen HBy far, this is my favorite Stroheim film. I'm not a fan of his earlier directorial attempts, but maybe that's because the copies that remain are fragmentary and I'm missing the better parts. I tired to like Blind Husbands and Foolish Wives, but his stories are social commentaries of another culture and another time, which is all alien to me. On top of that, comparing these films (excluding queen Kelly) to his "masterpiece", GREED, it seems that he doesn't care for the central part of the plot but wants to focus on the scenes in which he is acting. If the tudios were going to cut his films as much as they did, why did they not leave more of the minor details of the central plot? Why did they cut the heart of the film only to leave the scenes with Stroheim? The only relevance the scenes have is to illustrate his fights with the studio (Universal) and his triumphs, which had to be achieved by starring himself. However, QUEEN KELLY is, by far, his best partially surviving work, next to GREED. The cinematography is excellent, the story is superb, the acting could not be better (in fact it's the best performance Seena Owen has ever given---a complete transformation from her eralier screen work, such as VICTORY) and the music is stunning. Tully Marshall gives his best performance (compared to the other films with him that are available on home video) and is truly the creepiest character to ever grace a Stroheim film. I can't say much for the guy who plays the Queen's fiancee'. I think John Gilbert could have done a better job. But he fits in with the rest of the film well enough. I just wish Swanson, wionderful actress though she may be, could have aloowed Stroheim to finish filming this magnificent work. All that remains of the film is one third of the plot. Swanson got angry at Stroheim for using her money (she produced it) to film excessive takes and retakes and finally to have her character sink from convent girl to the lowly proprietor of a African brothel, that she fired Stroheim and the film was released with an ending she made herself, having Kelly commit suicide and a Romeo and Juliet-like ending was tagged on. YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM. It is so very important to film history and otherwise, it's very entertaining.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UUnfortunately, huge chunks of this film are lost, but it has been partially restored using stills and screenplay excerpts. What remains is a very good Swanson vehicle.
User Review - 8/10 by Oreste MOne can only wonder how the whole movie could have been if the few reels avail are so striking....
User Review - 8/10 by n bPerfectly incredible !!! Why doesn't it last 6 hours at it should have?
User Review - 8/10 by Leels LWhat was filmed of this movie was really good - if only it was finished! :(
User Review - 8/10 by Michael Loh what could have been. von stroheim has yet another trunacted masterpiece. has he created anything that exists in full and as he intended? maybe its better that his mad genius was edited. anyway, the movie as it exists is maybe a 3 star deal but the movie+commentary+deleted footage is 4 stars at least
