Greed
The Film of Films
Directed by Erich von Stroheim
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A bleak, methodical tragedy about how sudden wealth corrodes human bonds and morality, told with expressionistic intensity and culminating in violence and ruin.
When housewife Trina wins the lottery, her comfortable life with her dentist husband John slowly deteriorates, in part by her own increasing paranoia and partly by the machinations of villainous acquaintance Marcus.
