Terry Gross

Producer Rick Schmidlin. He's reconstructed the masterpiece 1924 silent film "Greed" by director Erich von Stroheim, which has been considered the "Holy Grail" of lost films. The American Film Institute deemed it number one on it's list of the Ten Most Wanted Lost Films. The director's first cut of the film was over nine hours long; he then cut it down to be released as a four and 1/2 hour, two-part film. However, the studio insisted on a shorter cut and the final edit was two hours. None of the original cut footage was saved.
