RudoIph VaIentino, the original Latin Iover, catapuIted to fame with his starring role in The Four Horseman Of The ApocaIypse (1921 ). His iconic roles in The Sheik (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922) are the stuff of Hollywood legend. VaIentino's animal magnetism is evident in this 1925 Ritz-CarIton production, Cobra, which is graced with the spectacuIar set designs of William Cameron Menzies. VaIentino wouId appear in only one more motion picture, The Son of the Sheik (1926), before his tragic untimeIy death the same year at the age of 31, would pIunge Iegions of adoring female fans worIdwide, into hystericaI grief. |
