{{cleanup|There are too many tropes needing context. All The Tropes is not a place to simply make lists; please provide a reason why each trope is listed on this page that can be understood by someone who has never read or watched the work in question.

A'''''Greed''''' is a 1924 silent film directed by Erich von Stroheim, based on the novel ''[[McTeague]]''. Particularly noteworthy as one of the earliest examples of various "troubled production" tropes, the film's original cut came in at a stunning ''nine and a half hours''. [[MGM]] eventually took the film out of von Stroheim's hands and released it with a running time of about two and a half hours. The shortened film was a flop, panned by critics and disowned by its director.
 
A four-hour version of the film (with inserted stills from cut scenes) was created in 1999 by Turner Entertainment.
