Uniform Title:
The Great Gabbo
Content:
One of Hollywood's earliest and most peculiar musicals, "The Great Gabbo" stars von Stroheim as an egotistical ventriloquist who casts a Svengali-like spell upon an ingenue, against a backdrop of singularly strange numbers (including "Icky" and the spider-and-fly-themed "Caught in a Web"). Director James Cruze allowed von Stroheim to endow the character with his signature flourishes, resulting in a wicked cocktail of garish stage shows and Austro-Hungarian villainy that is a diabolical delight.
