Note that the movie was filmed in 1923 but problems with editing the film to a manageable length delayed it's premier until December 1924 and the general release to January 1925! Also note that, sadly, much of the film is completely lost, but amazingly, dedicated fans reconstructed a 239 minute version of the movie in 1999, using still photographs to fill in the many missing sections!

Important Added Info: Note that in this most classic movie where Jean Hersholt throws a knife at Gibson Gowland, and we would imagine that the cowboy in this candid image is one that is a professional knife thrower, and that von Stroheim hired him to perform the stunt in the movie. We find it hard to believe that von Stroheim let him throw knives at him, but knowing von Stroheim, anything is possible! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There are a few faint creases scattered in the still. Learn More about condition grades
