The Legend of Rudolph Valentino

	The Legend of Rudolph Valentino
	by Image Entertainment Sales Rank: 148982 Price: $24.99

Rudolph Valentino was the first male sexual icon of the modern media world. For five years, from 1921 until 1926, other men watched with envy as Valentino, the quintessential Latin screen lover, made legions of women swoon over the mere thought of his gaze and his embrace. This documentary covers the career of Valentino from his youth as a failed military academy student to his arrival in Hollywood in 1917 and his emergence in 1921 as American cinema's first great lover. The remaining five years of his life are represented by his work in screen classics from <I>The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse</I> to <I>The Eagle</I> and <I>The Son of the Sheik</I>, including outtakes from his films. 71 minutes. *Viewer Reviews* True this is not the best documentary you will ever see on the one-and-only Rudolph Valentino, but what you get sticks to the facts. Perhaps that is the reason no mention of his homosexuality is made as Rudolph Valentino was NOT gay. This was a latter-day invention based on Kenneth Anger's and others' (in the more outre fringe of gay culture) wishful thinking. It is not hard to imagine why certain gays find Valentino such a prize and a would-be feather in their collective caps: he was the most gorgeous vision ever to appear on the Silver Screen and most desireable lover in film history. As to Valentino's puported homosexuality this tiresome rumor is based on some pretty thin gruel such as a fantasy diary, unathenticated (and unathenticatible letters) and the like. However dated and superficial this documentary may be at least it is based on FACT not fantasy. Back To Top
