Rudolph Valentino Collection (Box Set)

Film Description

When he died at the age of 31, Italian immigrant Rudolph Valentino's place as a silent film sex symbol was cemented forever. This collection demonstrates his allure with three classic films.

The Sheik concerns the romantic adventures of Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan who, bewitched by the beauty of British aristocrat Lady Diana, keeps her locked away in a love nest hoping to make her his concubine; In The Eagle, Valentino stars as Vladimir Dubrovsky, a young Russian Cossack officer who rejects the czarina's amorous attention and is promptly branded a deserter in a silent tale of love and revenge; Blood and Sand tells the tale of Juan, a young Spaniard who wants to become a famous toreador in order to escape poverty. Juan quickly rises to national prominence as a bullfighter and marries his longtime love. However, as Juan celebrity grows as do the salacious temptations of fame.
