Summary:[Erich Von Stroheim]'s great mutilated social drama -- cut from eight hours to two, with the missing footage tossed and burned -- was based on Frank Norris' powerful novel "McTeague." It's a scaldingly realistic portrait of how hatred and jealousy can drive even well- intentioned people toward tragedy: brutish dentist McTeague (Gibson Gowland), his fragile wife, Trina (ZaSu Pitts), and his hot-tempered friend Marcus (Jean Hersholt). The reconstruction by Rick Schmidlin adds two hours of stills, music and narration. (on video)
