Kino has set a July 30th release date for Erich von Stroheim's Foolish Wives (Blu-Ray).
The sole bonus feature is the 78 minute documentary The Man You Loved to Hate.
It will retail for $34.95, but is available at ClassicFlix.com for only $27.99.
Artistically brilliant, Foolish Wives is Erich von Stroheim's epic-scale account of an American diplomat's wife (Miss. Dupont) who falls under the spell of a phony Russian Count (von Stroheim). With his trademark eye for visual metaphor and gritty detail, von Stroheim infuses the aristocratic splendor of Monte Carlo (rebuilt in all its majesty on the Universal backlot). The result is a Grimm's fairytale romance that is no less fascinating today than it was 80 years ago.
BONUS FEATURE:
- The Man You Loved To Hate (1979, 78 min.) blends revealing interviews, rare photographs and clips from von Stroheim's legendary and lesser-known works to create a fascinating tribute to one of American cinema's most complex artists.
