Perhaps his most villainous role was in the WW2 film The North Star. He plays a German army doctor who drains the blood of local children for transfusions into then Reich's soldiers. Billy Wilder, who was also Jewish and Viennese, was amused by Stroheim's aristocratic pretensions and said Stroheim's accent gave away his lower-class origins.  |

The film that Norma and Joe are watching in SUNSET is QUEEN KELLY.

Ashamed to say, but I haven't seen any of the famous movies that he directed, though certainly know and read about them. Of his acting I've only seen La grande illusion 1937, but only in a lousy puplic domain version that I don't think did that move any justice. and (offcourse) Sunset Boulevard 1950, plus his small cameo as Ludwig van Beethoven in Sasha Guitry's mastodont Napoleon 1955.  Erich von Stroheim as Beethoven in Napoleon 1955, maybe the part is a bit bigger in the original three hour version, i've only seen a shorter pubic domain very shorter version. |
