Let’s look at Foolish Wives. An enigmatic figure of the Silent Era of cinema, Austrian actor-director Erich von Stroheim emigrated to America in 1909 and 5 years later, broke into the burgeoning film industry as an actor. By 1919, he made his directorial debut with Blind Husbands and the now lost film The Devil’s Pass Key while as an actor, became known as “The Man You Love to Hate” for several villainous roles. For Carl Laemmle’s Universal Pictures, von Stroheim would follow up with his most ambitious directorial effort at that point, Foolish Wives. Previously released on Blu-ray in 2013 by Kino, Flicker Alley debuts a brand new restoration of the movie in a Blu-ray/DVD combo release.
