When housewife Trina McTeague wins the lottery, her comfortable life with her dentist husband, John, is slowly destroyed, in part by her own increasing paranoia and in part by the machinations of a villainous friend, Marcus . Director Erich von Stroheim shot the film, based on the Frank Norris novel ``McTeague'', on location in and around San Francisco, an extravagance unheard of in the 1920s. His original version, since lost, ran for nearly 10 hours.
