Alternative Versionen
The film was shown to the French press in December 1928 in a cut lasting about 3 hours and 20 minutes, however by the time the film had its first public screening in January 1929, producer Jean Sapene had ordered the length to be cut by half, unbeknownst to director Marcel L'Herbier and much to his and fellow filmmaker Marcel Carné's dismay. Much later, the film was restored to a running time of 2 hours and 25 minutes.

Genuine Jazz Age Masterpiece

A masterpiece of film making, the thoughtful and observant will find much to enjoy in it. The use of camera angles and light/ shadows is astonishing at times. Then pause to consider the electrifying timing of this film - released a year before the Wall Street crash and when the National Socialism was on the rise in Germany. Then the performances - the unforgettably snake-like Baroness or the innocent beauty of Line. Then look at the expansive sets and the breathtaking - and authentic - late 20's wardrobe and art deco styling. The chessboard motif, the puppet masters inhabiting rooms behind rooms behind rooms. And the Gatsby-esque party scene against which the plot finally unravels, cutting back and forth in a giddying climax. The build-up of suspense in the radio broadcast... The intoxicating rush of the Paris crowd scene... It's easy to poke fun at a silent film and moan about its pace, which was pitched at the audience of 96 years ago; for those who have the patience to watch and appreciate it for what it is, L'Argent is a bloody brilliant film.
