A Million Dollars

Post by SSO Admins »

When I was waiting to see Underworld at the theater this weekend, they were showing lobby cards for various silents while waiting for the movie to begin.

One was for Foolish Wives by Erich von Stroheim, and the tag line read "Von Stroheim creates the first REAL Million Dollar Picture!"

My first thought was "Von Stroheim spent a million dollars? I didn't realize that Foolish Wives was a short subject."

Well it made me giggle anyway.
