Abstract
The films of Erich von Stroheim rightfully belong to the critics and filmmakers of the post-World War I period. And his work cannot be intimately known by anyone who is unfamiliar with the last five years of silent films. Perhaps because it is more recent than that of Charlie Chaplin and D. W. Griffith, Stroheim’s work needs some time to acquire the objectivity bestowed upon it by retrospectives and historical criticism.
