Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
A great, crazy masterpiece with Stroheim pulling double-duty as director and actor.
San Francisco Examiner
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A towering example of Erich von Stroheim's intimidating genius and astonishing egocentrism.

Film Freak Central
Rating: 4/5 --
The original 'Eyes Wide Shut,' confronting the erotic obsession with frankness and confrontational humor.

Foolish Wives is disillusionment Von Stroheim style.

Slant Magazine
All of this is carried out in the name of high "realism," yet Stroheim's compulsions far outstrip the merely naturalistic.

Product Description:
Erich von Stroheim's psychologically penetrating and visually gorgeous study of "innocent Americans" abroad, and their inability to understand the longstanding rules of behavior followed by their sophisticated European counterparts. An American diplomat and his wife journey to Monte Carlo, where he proceeds to bury himself in work. His wife, bored and upset with her husband's inattentiveness, and longing to experience the Continental nightlife, gradually succumbs to the flirtations of an elegant and charming "Count" -- who, in actuality, is merely a Russian military officer out to seduce her. As events come tumbling to a disastrous conclusion, the woman learns a valuable lesson about the meaning of true nobility, and the difference between appearance and reality.
