Plot Synopsis

Hal Erickson escribió:Though filmmaker Erich Von Stroheim's notorious profligacy had made him virtually unhirable in the US by 1929, screen-star Gloria Swanson still had faith in him. She poured a great deal of her own money in Von Stroheim's last silent film, Queen Kelly, and agreed to play the leading role to insure box-office success. When production began, Stroheim had not quite completed his script: all he had was the premise of a young Irish convent girl named Kitty Kelly (Gloria Swanson) being seduced by a German nobleman (Walter Byron) who was slated to marry the mad Queen (Seena Owen) of a tiny European principality. Brandishing a whip, the looney Queen drives the hapless Kitty from the palace. It was after shooting had started that Von Stroheim filled Swanson in on the rest of the plot: Kitty was to inherit all the worldly possessions of her aunt in German East Africa. Arriving to take charge of the estate, Kitty would learn that she was proud possessor of a string of brothels. Realizing that such a plot device would never get past the American censors, Swanson reacted in horror; she frantically called her money men in America and screamed "There's a madman in charge!"

DVD Review escribió:The disc’s supplementary materials include intelligent and informative full-length audio commentary by historian Richard Koszarski, 18 minutes of previously unavailable outtake footage (which almost looks as good as the film itself and gives us slateboard clues as to who shot which scenes), Gloria Swanson’s 1932 release ending, a videotape introduction and afterword by Gloria Swanson, a written recollection of the film by Erich von Stroheim, and a 1952 Orient-Express television performance by von Stroheim
