Audrey and Louise discuss the filmography of silent film star Rudolph Valentino and the 1977 Ken Russell biopic about his career. Topics include the controversy over Valentino's sex symbol status and why he deserves to be remembered for other aspects, technical and narrative elements that surprised us about his silent movies, influential women in Valentino's life such as screenwriter June Mathis and second wife Natacha Rambova, depictions of real-life figures in the biopic (which we have very opposing opinions on), roles we would like to have seen Valentino play, and much more.
