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.[1]
