Excellent film. Now, I can understand why women "Swooned" whenever Valentino appeared in a movie. Great Actor! And, he was absolutely breath-taking to look at....in the way that Brad Pitt was drop-dead gorgeous in "Thema and Louise. " Ladies, you now what I am talking about...... Movie was very good. The pace of the film was slow as many silent films are. The only unfortunate thing was the music. Absolutely Terrible. It sounded like a funeral dirge!! Certainly can't be the original score. The music dragged the movie down. Otherwise a definite must see for anyone interested in Valentino!
