Viewing Notes
Valentino looks more brooding in this, but also kind of worn out in certain scenes. Given that he died shortly after the release of the film, it’s no wonder. His co-star from THE EAGLE, Vilma Bánky, was hand-picked by Valentino (and on loan from MGM) to co-star with him in this. I liked her in THE EAGLE and I liked her in this too. She was a good match for Valentino.
