      He was beautiful. Inside and out. I first fell in love with him when I was around 12 years old, after watching a documentary on his life and watching Franco Nero in, "The Legend of Rudolph Valentino." I plan to visit his tomb in May of 2026 at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I want to place one red rose at his tomb. I just watched "Son of The Sheik " again, and if you haven't already, please watch him in a film called "All Night." He is very funny in that one. He was so talented and beautiful looking. May he rest in peace. 😊❤

    I love this film. I especially love that the soundtrack was carefully recreated to match this epic film. When watching silent movies I generally pop headphones in and listen to an ambient soundtrack; but there was no need. The music matched every scene. What a delight to see Gloria & Valentino in their prime. What a beautiful story of selfless love, a happy ending is always a bonus. Brilliant. Thank you for giving us this priceless piece of history and sharing it so freely 🙏🏻❤️

    Rudolph Valentino was the most beautiful man who ever lived in my opinion, but this is also a great movie even if a person who is not into silent films. I'm a silent film fanatic but I think this film would be entertaining for a large audience

      I read Gloria Swanson's autobiography, She wrote about Rudolph Valentino. Her book is packed with old Hollywood stories and the time she performed on the stage before the movies. She gives the full story of how she met John Kennedy, Sr. for what was initially a business deal. And she writes about Rose Kennedy and some of the Kennedy children. Gloria was married nine times; her first marriage at 18 was to Wallace Beery, a vulgar and violent man who raped her on their honeymoon. The book is a real treasure.

    Gloria Swanson wore way too much makeup in all of her films. She's rather homely too. Never could figure out what her appeal was. She must have been incredibly competitive to get so many parts in films. Rudi, on the other hand, was a genius actor, his facial expressions were spot on. He was made for the camera.

    • @janetcarbone4213

      Agreed. That make up I guess was needed for the lighting of that time but that plus that lip stick made her look pretty rough. But that was then…

    I'm a little confused here. The film was able to pick up the sound of the newspaper Valentino was holding (crumbling) in his hands, and the men voices as they were attacking Josiah and his men. However, the film couldn't pick up the actors' voices. Although I know it is a silent film. Baffling indeed. 🎬 🎞 🎥

      Hi. This movie was found en restored in the Netherlands in 2003-2004in poor condition. And it was considered a "lost" movie. The sounds you hear were added during the restoration. (Sorry for my English, is my 3rd language)

    Really enjoyed that. The sound effects were great. I hope they get it to the restorers in time. Those couple spots of deterioration look pretty bad. ❤❤❤❤ Valentino but then I was married to a Sicilian for 40 years. Swanson was a great actress but neither her or Garbo were that much to look at. Their strength was that they could play to the camera I guess🤔. I ❤❤❤ the silents. I wish they could have saved more😢
