511 Queen Kelly (1929)
- After shooting only one third of the picture (4 hours), director
'Erich Von Stroheim' (qv) was fired by producer-star 'Gloria Swanson' (qv).
Two years later, additional footage was shot to complete the picture.
Since Von Stroheim owned part of the property, he refused to grant releasing

exhibited in the U.S. until after "Sunset Boulevard (1950)" (qv), when it
reveived minor theatrical release and a showing on television in 1966.
