House of Greed (Russian: Иудушка Головлёв) is a 1933 Soviet film directed by Aleksandr Ivanovsky, based on Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin's novel The Golovlyov Family.[1][2][3]
Porfiriy Golovlyov, nicknamed Iudushka (Judas) for hypocrisy, becomes the heir to a rich estate. But wealth does not bring happiness to him or his family. A son and nieces of Iudushka die in poverty and humiliation, without waiting for help from a rich relative.
