Ein Klassiker!

Stroheims für damalige Verhältnisse äusserst frivole Verfilmung eines eigenen Drehbuchs vor monumentaler Kulisse. Stroheim baute Monaco vollständig im Studio in Hollywood detailgetreu nach. Damals ein Skandalfilm und der Anfang vom Ende von Stroheims Karriere als Regisseur. "Foolish Wives" galt zu seiner Zeit (1921) als teuerster Film aller Zeiten.
