DESCRIPTIONS

He was the original Hollywood heartthrob. Rudolph Valentino lit up the silver screen with his smoldering sexual presence and exotic good looks. In the early days of the silent cinema, Valentino’s allure was unmatched. His untimely death at the age of 31 only helped to cement his legend and status as an icon of romance. This 3-disc collection celebrates Rudolph Valentino’s talent and short career with such classic films as THE MARRIED VIRGIN (1918), THE SHEIK (1921), BLOOD AND SAND (1922), COBRA (1925), and THE EAGLE (1925). Bonus materials include a 1941 retrospective tribute, a rare short entitled A SOCIETY SENSATION (1918), and a 13 minute newsreel in which Valentino judges a beauty contest.
