Download or read book Queen Kelly written by Erich Von Stroheim and published by Rlpg/Galleys. This book was released on 2002 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics often consider the silent movie Queen Kelly to be the downfall of director von Stroheim, but he was unable to complete the movie to match the original screenplay or even a revised version, leaving the film's star Gloria Swanson to tack on a short ending that she devised in order to try to make some money out of the film. This volume presents the screenplay of the film and includes all three endings, which perhaps will lead critics to reevaluate von Stroheim's work on Queen Kelly.
