Synopsis: Produced for Britain's Thames television in 1979, Hollywood is a 13-part overview of the silent film era, lovingly assembled by historian Kevin Brownlow and David Gill. Each episode runs one hour, and each concentrates on a separate aspect of the art of the silent cinema. Chapter titles include Read More
Synopsis: One of producer Joseph Levine's earliest projects, Gaslight Follies is a compilation of silent film footage narrated by Metropolitan Operan stalwart Milton Cross. Unlike the more respectful compilations of Robert Youngson (The Golden Age of Comedy, Laurel and Hardy's Laughing 20s etc.), Follies Read More
Actors: Mary Pickford, Lionel Barrymore, William S. Hart, Charles Chaplin, Ben Turpin
Synopsis: The Movies March On was Number 12, volume 9 of Louis de Rochemont's March of Time series. Narrated by the stentorian Westbrook Van Vorhees, this fascinating documentary manages to squeeze 40 years of filmmaking into a mere two reels. Beginning with the once scandalous The Kiss (1898), the film Read More
Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Vilma Banky, George Fawcett, Montagu Love, Bull Montana, Karl Dane
Synopsis: The Son of the Sheik, Rudolph Valentino's last film, may well be his best. A sequel to (and vast improvement upon) Valentino's 1922 blockbuster The Sheik, the 1926 film casts the legendary Latin Lover in the dual role of the now-older Sheik and his son Ahmed. The latter falls in love with Read More
Synopsis: Silent screen idol Rudolph Valentino made his next-to-last screen appearance in this romantic comedy/drama.

Synopsis: This collection shows Valentino in a number of short films. ~ All Movie Guide Read More
Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Nita Naldi, Helen D'Algy, Dagmar Godowsky, Jean del Val
Synopsis: There's something very calculated about this Rudolph Valentino vehicle. As he did in Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the star plays an Argentine with a talent for the tango. The production and costuming are elaborate, and the story was based on the Rex Beach novel Rope's End. But none of this can Read More
Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Bebe Daniels, Lois Wilson, Doris Kenyon, Lowell Sherman
Synopsis: The still photographs of this costume picture, showing Rudolph Valentino wearing foppish 18th century finery, are actually misleading when it comes to Monsieur Beaucaire's actual content. For much of the film, Valentino actually views his wardrobe -- and his matinee idol persona -- with sly humor. Read More
Actors: Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino, Edythe Chapman, Alec B. Francis, Robert Bolder
Synopsis: This picture did great at the box office, and no wonder -- Paramount's biggest star of the day, Gloria Swanson, co-starred with Rudolph Valentino (whose fame was so new that his first name was still being spelled "Rodolph"), in a story written by the most famous trashy novelist of the day, Elinor Glyn Read More
Actors: Eugene O'Brien, Tom Blake, Rudolph Valentino, Warren Cook
Synopsis: Based on a story by H.H. VanLoan and starring screen legend Rudolph Valentino, this melodramatic crime film finds an ex-gangster forced to trade places with an English lord. Released from prison and determined to make good for his previous indiscretions, former criminal "Swagger" Barlow (Eugene O'Brien Read More
Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Wanda Hawley, Pat Moore, Charles Ogle
Synopsis: Having played a sheik, it only made sense to cast Rudolph Valentino -- whose first name was still being spelled Rodolph -- as an Indian rajah. At least, that's how Paramount saw things, and that's really the only excuse for the creation of this drama. The Judds, Caleb (Spottiswoode Aitken) and Read More
Actors: Wallace Reid, Marion Davies, Thomas Meighan, Betty Compson, May McAvoy
Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Lila Lee, Nita Naldi, George Field, Walter Long

Actors: Dorothy Dalton, Rudolph Valentino, Walter Long, Emilius Jorgensen
Synopsis: Moran of the Lady Letty was a successful attempt to establish "Latin Lover" Rudolph Valentino as a brawling he-man hero (both this film and Valentino's breakthrough picture The Sheik were directed by George Melford). Rudy plays a Spanish aristocrat who is shanghaied by burly ship's captain Walter Long Read More
Actors: Alla Nazimova, Rudolph Valentino, Arthur Hoyt, Zeffie Tilbury, Rex Cherryman
Synopsis: Although by no means the definitive version of the Alexander Dumas story -- scenarist June Mathis modernizes it and the overall tone is rather cool for such a group of supposedly hot-blooded characters -- this picturization is notable for a number of reasons. To play Camille's lover, Armand Duval Read More
Actors: Alice Lake, Carl Gerard, Rudolph Valentino, Fred Turner, Charles Hill Mailes
Synopsis: While he was working as a supporting character in this film, Rudolph Valentino had no idea that stardom was imminent.

Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Alan Hale, Pomeroy Cannon, Nigel de Brulier, Josef Swickard, Brinsley Shaw, Jean Hersholt

Actors: Agnes Ayres, Rudolph Valentino, Adolphe Menjou, Walter Long, Lucien Littlefield
Synopsis: This romantic costumed adventure is the film that cemented Rudolph Valentino's reputation as a legendary screen lover.

Actors: Alice Terry, Rudolph Valentino, Eric Mayne, Ralph Lewis, Edna Demaurey
Synopsis: Director Rex Ingram's The Conquering Power served as the much-anticipated reteaming of Ingram's stars from Blood and Sand, Alice Terry (aka Mrs. Rex Ingram) and Rudolph Valentino.

Actors: Rudolph Valentino, Marguerite Namara, Albert L. Barrett

Synopsis: Although a bit slow to get off the ground, this witty film shows what star Mae Murray and her director husband, Robert Z. Leonard, could do with a good concept.

Synopsis: Carmel Myers' co-star in this amusing farce is a handsome newcomer named Rodolpho de Valentina -- later to become famous as Rudolph Valentino.

Synopsis: The stars of this picture -- Vera Sisson and Frank Newburg -- are long forgotten; not so one of the supporting player Rodolpho di Valentina, who as Rudolph Valentino would become the most famous Latin lover of the silent era. Fiske McMillan (Edward Jobson) is a wealthy contractor, and his daughter Read More
Synopsis: According to the Moving Picture World, this drama was meant as an expose of the "lax divorce system prevailing in certain states, by which designing women have been enabled to exact heavy alimony from rich husbands." Bernice Flint (Josephine Whittell) divorces her rich husband (Wallace Worsley) Read More
