A lavish late silent masterpiece by Erich von Stroheim with a production almost as dramatic as its plot. In an ancient kingdom in the middle of Europe, handsome Prince Wolfram falls in love with hot-headed orphan Patricia Kelly (Gloria Swanson), inciting the cruel jealousy of his betrothed – the “mad queen” Regina. Patricia and Wolfram try desperately to overcome the crazed Queen's efforts to drive them apart, but her rage knows no bounds… will the couple find happiness in the name of true love? Legendary screen icon Gloria Swanson was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood when she hired, and then fired, von Stroheim from this project, making Queen Kelly the most infamous unfinished film in cinema history. Using Swanson's own prints and outtakes, preserved at the George Eastman Museum, archivists Dennis Doros and Amy Heller of Milestone Films have now brought von Stroheim's original script to life, fashioning this remarkable reconstruction of Queen Kelly in its most complete and spectacular form to date. In-person introduction with critic, film historian and author of The Curse of Queen Kelly, Pamela Hutchinson (captioned). Post-screening Q&A with Pamela Hutchinson and Neil Brand (captioned). Dir. Erich von Stroheim | USA | 1929 | N/C 12A | b&w | 1h 45m + intro + Q&A (captioned)
