Queen Kelly is an American silent film produced in 1928–29 and released by United Artists. The film was directed by Erich von Stroheim, starred Gloria Swanson, in the title role, Walter Byron as her lover, and Seena Owen. The film was produced by Joseph P. Kennedy, who was Swanson's lover at the time.[1]
In 1932, Swanson was able to release a part-sound version in Europe and South America only because of her contract with Stroheim.[citation needed] This version had an alternate ending directed by Richard Boleslawski and filmed by cinematographer Gregg Toland.[2]
