What is "mcteague"

McTeague is a novel by Frank Norris, first published in 1899. It tells the story of a couple's courtship and marriage, and their subsequent descent into poverty, violence and finally murder as the result of jealousy and greed. The book was the basis for the films McTeague (1916), Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1924), and Slow Burn (2000). It was also adapted as an opera by William Bolcom in 1992.

McTeague (aka Life's Whirlpool) was a 1916 American silent film drama directed by Barry O'Neil, the first adaptation of Frank Norris's 1899 novel McTeague. The film starred Holbrook Blinn and Fania Marinoff as McTeague and Trina; these roles were eventually played again seven years later by Gibson Gowland and Zasu Pitts in Eric von Stroheim's re-adaptation of the novel, Greed (1923). Blinn was already famous for playing brutal characters on the stage, as in Salvation Nell (1908).

The film is now considered a lost film.
