Rudolph Valentino

Sinopse

Rudolph Valentino - the virile, passionate, cruel and tender star of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and "The Sheik" - projected a magnetic sex appeal so great the even decades after his death his name remains synonymous with spectacular amorous success. Behind the stereotype, however, was a complex man whose private life contradicted his screen image. Impulsive and menacing on film, Valentino was actually attracted to strong-willed women who dominated him. Profusely illustrated with over eight-five photographs, many never before published, "Rudolph Valentino" vividly details the life of a man who parlayed good looks, good luck and real talent into a short but dazzling career.
