Directed by Erich von Stroheim
Starring Mae Murray, John Gilbert, Roy D'Arcy
Erich von Stroheim's slavish attention to detail helped make THE MERRY WIDOW his most commerically successful film. Based on Franz Lehar's operetta, it is a dramatic and romantic chronicle of an American widow who creates havoc with the royalty of Ruritania after she and her traveling dance troupe come to perform.
