Fritz Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Erich von Stroheim Porträts, Character rôles and the spirit of Prussian militarism ad adsurdum Born as a minor aristocrat in Wien and later a cadet in an Austrian military academy, which education he broke off, Stro made his fame in Hollywood, made anti German propaganda films for the Allies in 2 wars and spent his final years at his country home in France, he received the Legion d'Honneur for his lifes works from the government. He had an amazing eye for detail combined with his own fantasies, his private interests were beautiful women and alcohol. On the film set, he was a house tyrant and insisted on strict discipline at all times. Five Graves to Cairo... As a governor of a prisoner of war camp in a remote castle In the end he was forced to shoot his friend Capitaine de Boildieu As a Regisseur he could be a house tyrant Lebemann and Grandseigneur and immer von schönen Frauen umgeben The man who would be Boss toujours galant der Verführer Toujours la noblesse Post war film with Hildegard Knef He remained an Austrian "Prussian" in any guise. These miniatures look like French medals... His only decoration at the end of his real life would be the Légion d'Honneur from the government of France. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
