Life's Whirlpool (also known as McTeague) 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 later were played by Gibson Gowland and Zasu Pitts in Eric von Stroheim's 1924 adaptation Greed. Blinn was famous for playing brutal characters on the stage, as in the Edward Sheldon play Salvation Nell (1908).
The film is considered a lost film.[1]
