With a production almost as dramatic as its plot, this lavish late silent masterpiece by Erich von Stroheim - the most infamous unfinished film in cinema history - can be fully experienced thanks to this vital new reconstruction by Milestones and score by composer Eli Denson. Set in an imaginary European country, Stroheim tells the story of a prince (Walter Byron), the orphan girl (Gloria Swanson) he falls in love with, and a vein and cruel queen whose jealousy wreaks havoc on everyone involved.
This vital new digital reconstruction, overseen by Milestone Films’ Dennis Doros and Amy Heller, brings von Stroheim’s original script to life, and the result is Queen Kelly in its most complete and spectacular form to date.
