The Eagle (1925)
Member Rating:  
Based on a Pushkin novel, The Eagle stars Rudolph Valentino as a Russian cossack who is the special favorite of the formidable Catherine the Great (Louise Dresser). He spurns her attentions, preferring not to be a kept consort. When his lands are stolen from him, Valentino transforms into a Robin-Hood-like masked avenger. Vilma Banky plays the daughter of the man who killed Valentino's own father. Despite his thirst for revenge, our hero falls in love with Vilma, who goes the "Lois Lane" route of adoring the masked-avenger Valentino but disdaining the unmasked Rudy, little guessing that the two are one in the same. Watch quickly for Gary Cooper as one of Valentino's masked minions. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If you have never watched a silent movie this is a great choice. This was my first Valentino flick. Now I know why the young ladies in the 1920s fell in love with Rudolph Valentino. WOW !!!

This movie is fantastic - silent and black and white, but it's a great story, engaging, and really funny at times. Even my media-soaked 10-year-old son liked it. Left me wondering why no one's remade this one.

Valentino shows more of his talent and range in this movie.He has the subtle body movements, hand gestures and facial expressions down to an art form that an actor needed in silent films. I enjoyed this movie more than Son of the Sheik.
