3 Von Stroheim, Erich
(1885-1957) фон Штрогейм, ЭрихАктер, режиссер, сценарист, писатель. Легендарная и драматическая фигура в истории немого кино. Родился в Австрии, получил военное образование, в 1909 эмигрировал в США. С 1914 в Голливуде [ Hollywood], снимался в эпизодических ролях, работал военным консультантом, в том числе в фильмах Д. Гриффита [ Griffith, David Lewelyn Wark (D. W.)]. Как режиссер снял фильмы "Слепые мужья" ["Blind Husbands"] (1919), "Дьявольская отмычка" ["Devil's Passkey"] (1919), "Глупые жены" ["Foolish Wives"] (1921). В фильмах "Карусель" ["Merry-Go-Round"] (1923), "Алчность" ["Greed"] (1924), "Свадебный марш" ["The Wedding March"] (1926) социальные темы сочетаются с мелодраматическим сюжетом. Был автором сценариев всех своих фильмов. Конфликты с руководством студий "Юниверсал пикчерс" [ Universal Pictures], "Метро-Голдвин-Майер" [ MGM] и "Парамаунт" [ Paramount Communications, Inc.] привели к тому, что картины фон Штрогейма монтировались без его участия, а некоторые были досняты другими режиссерами. Провал фильма "Королева Келли" ["Queen Kelly"] (1928) с Г. Суонсон [ Swanson, Gloria] практически положил конец его карьере как режиссера. Как актер создал галерею образов прусских офицеров, авантюристов и соблазнителей. В 1930-50-е много снимался во Франции и США. Ярко сыграл роль режиссера-неудачника в фильме Б. Уайлдера [ Wilder, Billy] "Бульвар Сансет" ["Sunset Boulevard"] (1950)English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > Von Stroheim, Erich
