Rudolph Valentino The Sheik Re-Issue Window Card

This is a copy of a Re-Issue Window Card from the film, "The Sheik." I really like the fact that is depicts a color close-up of Valentino in one of his many "stares" from the film. This is an example of a mass produced copy. If this were an original re-issue lobby card it would be quite valuable, mainly because of the large, color depiction of Valentino.

Photos from The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

These are five photos from the film, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." This was Valentino's first starring role in a film. June Mathis noticed his work in a film called "Eyes of Youth," she was ultimately responsible for landing him the part of Julio Desnoyers. This film features the famous tango scene. Valentino was not credited with the film's success; however it was the turning point in his career, a few months later he filmed, "The Sheik."

This is a fantastic painting of Valentino from the film, "The Son of the Sheik." This is not an acutal movie poster, it is an artful rendition of Valentino from the film. I am unsure of the size, but it is a magnificent piece.

Photos from Uncharted Seas

These are two photos from the film, "Uncharted Seas." This film is no longer in existence, or I like to refer to it, "lost." This film was made in 1921, one of five Valentino starred in that year, it was made after The Four Horsemen. The film also stars Alice Lake as well. Items from this film are very difficult to find as well. Often, this tends to be the "forgotten" Valentino film. I hope someone finds it over the next few years.

These are five great photos from the film, "Cobra," from 1925. The top 2 photos depict Valentino in a flashback scene as one of his womanizing relatives who is trying to hide two women at once. In the film, in his home, there is a painting of this relative on the wall, I wonder if the painting is still around?
