Von Stroheim himself plays the part of a lustful army officer, a serial seducer who sets his cap at the dreamy wife of a rich American whilst they on holiday in the South Tyrol. In a remarkably assured debut von Stroheim displays a nascent virtuosity as he unpacks a morally ambiguous tale of sexual obsession told with what became his trademark sumptuous visual sensibility.
