The Great Flamarion is an early (1945) Anthony Mann film noir. Erich von Stroheim, Dan Duryea and Mary Beth Hughes do a trick-shooting theatrical show but sexual jealousy and guns can be a nasty combination. Fine performances, good movie.

The controversy was exacerbated not only by its impact on the adaptation of a classic of British literature but also because the censor had passed Erich von Stroheim's risque Foolish Wives (US: Universal, 1922).
