McTeague (film)
McTeague (also known as Life's Whirlpool) is a 1916 American silent film drama directed by Barry O'Neil. The first motion picture adaptation of Frank Norris's 1899 novel McTeague, the film stars Holbrook Blinn and Fania Marinoff as McTeague and Trina. These roles were later played by Gibson Gowland and Zasu Pitts in Eric von Stroheim's 1924 adaptation of the novel, Greed. Blinn was already famous for playing brutal characters on the stage, as in the Edward Sheldon play, Salvation Nell (1908).

gollark: It would introduce problems, but the point system could connect itself directly to the IncDec websocket and do stuff to that.
gollark: Okay, actually, I could, just not the page itself.
gollark: But it would be nice to try.
gollark: I can't really touch IncDec.
gollark: *Or*, with the achievements thing, it gives you points but also adds an achievement which you can't remove showing that you are a cheater.
