McTeague (aka Life's a Whirlpool) is a 1916 American silent film drama directed by Barry O'Neil, the first adaptation of Frank Norris's 1899 novel McTeague. The stars of the film were Holbrook Blinn and Fania Marinoff whose roles were played seven years later by Gibson Gowland and Zasu Pitts in the remake, Eric von Stroheim's opus Greed (1923). Blinn was already famous for playing brutal characters on the stage such as in Salvation Nell (1908).
The film is now considered a lost film.[1]
