Blind Husbands/The Great Gabbo (DVD)
This special double feature contains two Erich von Stroheim classics: BLIND HUSBANDS and THE GREAT GABBO.
BLIND HUSBANDS (1919) Erich von Stroheim wrote, directed and starred in this sly romantic drama, which was also his first film as a director. Von Stroheim stars as von Steuben, a Prussian officer who pursues a surgeon`s wife while the couple is on vacation in the Alps. After successfully seducing the wife, Mrs. Armstrong, von Steuben decides to further emasculate Dr. Armstrong by challenging him to a series of contests. Von Stroheim`s first film is filled with the director`s signature themes and finds him already experimenting with the cinematic techniques he would perfect in his later masterpieces.
THE GREAT GABBO (1929) This bizarre drama/musical stars Erich von Stroheim as the volatile ventriloquist The Great Gabbo. Along with his dummy Otto, Gabbo has become a supremely successful act at a popular nightclub. Unfailingly cruel to his colleagues, Gabbo begins a sadistic relationship with one of the club`s young ingenue. Unfortunately, Gabbo`s self-imposed loneliness has led him to rely more and more on Otto, whom he begins to treat like a real person. Filled with grandly staged musical numbers and featuring a diabolical lead performance by von Stroheim, THE GREAT GABBO is one of the forgotten treasures produced by Hollywood during the early days of sound features.NR"
