For those that are interested, Captain Celluloid vs the Film Pirates isn't the only work of fiction about discovering the missing reels of Greed. Hard boiled mystery author Loren Estleman's Frames is is a comical amateur sleuth mystery about a film restorer named Valentino who discovers the complete Greed on original silver nitrate in an old theater he buys, along with a dead body and has to solve the murder quickly so he can get the film out of police custody as evidence and onto safety film stock before the original completely deteriorates. He eventually solves it by impersonating Von Stoheim to question theater's original owner.
