Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the film stars Mae Murray, John Gilbert, Roy D'Arcy, and Tully Marshall[2][3], with pre-fame uncredited appearances by Joan Crawford and Clark Gable. The film is based on the Franz Lehár's operetta of the same name, and was its second film adaptation, the first being a 1918 Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz. While a print of the film still survives, the end sequence shot in two-tone Technicolor is now lost.[4] PlotPrince Danilo falls in love with dancer Sally O'Hara. His uncle, King Nikita I of Monteblanco, forbids the marriage because she is a commoner. Thinking she has been jilted by her prince, Sally marries the old and lecherous Baron Sadoja, whose wealth has kept the kingdom afloat. When he dies suddenly, Sally must be wooed all over again by Danilo. Cast

ProductionThe film was shot over twelve weeks with a budget of $592,000. Filming was tense as Mae Murray and the film's director, Erich von Stroheim, did not get on well. After production, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer decided it could no longer work with the director after he added sexually explicit scenes and changed the operetta's libretto.[5] ReceptionUpon its release, the film was both a critical and box office success. Critics praised Murray's dramatic skills while also noting that von Stroheim had "made an actress out of Miss Murray".[6] The film made a profit of $758,000.[1][7] Other adaptationsThe Merry Widow was adapted for the screen in 1934, 1952, 1962, and 1994.
