Foolish Wives

Japanese: 愚かなる妻 - おろかなるつま(英語表記)Foolish Wives
Foolish Wives
American film. Produced in 1922. This was the third film by E. von Stroheim, an actor turned Hollywood director who made his directorial debut with the melodrama The Blind Husband (1918), a bold depiction of a love triangle with psychological portrayal. This film, which he wrote and performed himself, shocks the Hollywood climate by using realistic techniques to sharply depict the decadence of the wealthy class that gathers in Monte Carlo and asserts the new morals of post-World War I society, especially women's rights.
