Legendary director (1885–1957) whose autocratic nature and profligacy brought an end to his directorial career. He went on to enjoy success as a character actor, perhaps most memorably as Gloria Swanson’s faithful butler in the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard. Vintage matte-finish 5 x 7 photo of von Stroheim as Erwin Rommel in Five Graves to Cairo, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen in French. In fine condition. R&R COA.
