Remembering Rudolph Valentino and the 100th Anniversary of Blood and Sand Tribute

Remembering Rudolph Valentino on the 96th year of his passing. Here is a special tribute video also commemorating the 100th anniversary of BLOOD AND SAND. The film coincided with the events in his own life; the ambition, adventure, love, friendship, family, yearning, and tragedy. As Emily Leider put it in DARK LOVER: “The parallels between Valentino and Gallardo would come to seem even more striking after Rudy’s sudden, youthful death. The rapid rise and fall of a troubled idol, the fickleness and sadism of the crowd, a dark beauty’s need to dominate, these common motifs chime eerily in both the fictional story of Gallardo and the real-life story of Rudolph Valentino.” And yet Rudy’s star has ceased to fade…and the crowd cheers on….🌹 #mysilentboyfriend #rudolphvalentino #rudyvalentino #silentfilmstars #silentmoviestars #valentinoforever #rodolfovalentino #rudolphvalentinoforever
