The Legend of Rudolph Valentino

1961NR1h 15m6.8

A documentary of Hollywood's first great Latin Lover, the contradictions in his personal life, and his premature death.

A documentary of Hollywood's first great Latin Lover, the contradictions in his personal life, his premature death, and his sensationalized, garish funeral is still fixated in the public's eyes. His on-screen image of aggressive dominance projected a new ideal in romantic leading men, but his personal life, primarily his two failed marriages, were in stark contradiction to his screen persona. Documentary footage from contemporary newsreels and clips from his iconic films chronicle his memorable but short-lived career.
