this be valentino last film and and he be excellent in it and but it be far from be his best film ( a many critic claim ) . certainly camille and the four horseman of the apocalypse and the eagle and the conquering power be much good film . this be design a a rollicking and sexy adventure film and with large dos of cheap slapstick humour and and on that level succeed admirably . that famous scene where valentino ravish vilma banky be extraordinary and and valentino show real talent in portray both the son and the father ( he be almost unrecognisable in the latter role ) . great split screen work allow the two valentinos to inter relate well too . the film make you wonder what this talented and beautiful man may have achieve have he live . would he have make it in talkie . it hard to believe such charisma would ever fail .
