Something very hypnotic about Rudolph Valentino.
@Barbara Shernoff ❤️
Handsome italian charm.
Everything....
@@jeanbaumgartner4052 I totally agree.
🙄
There is only one recording of his voice left and it was of him singing. He had a beautiful rich baritone voice. He was half French and half Italian. He could dance, act, sing, he could speak several languages, and he had graduated from University in Italy. A smart man as well. He loved to cook. So sad he passed so young.
But not that smart to take care of his health!
@@Lion-vi3mx He died of Peritonitis, complications from the surgery and gastric ulcers.......what an incredibly insensitive and unfair thing for you to say 😕.
@@Lion-vi3mx he had a sudden medical issue. Don't Joke, it can happen to anyone even if u take full care of your body some disease can be silently taking root in yr body.
@@leilal8053 well...i was thinking same thing.....why why why didnt He or that silly wife take care of him BETTER????.im trying to think if i took my health for granted in my 20's.....the answer is NO" ....BUT...who knows??.my theory is He worked VERY hard at his profession..& maybe played" hard..plus smoked ALOT they all did back then..BUT wht i truely think is ..the negetive things said about Him in papers and wife and He fighting" / not getting along..or whatever....im sorry .im traditional ...although u cannot make a grwn person do anything even if y LOVE them & married BUT i feel those AROUND Him & his WIFE couldve been more devoted...she couldve influence him to slow down eat right ...but she was so young herself.....so darn waste/ shame/ ...i also heard recently he was suicidal when they slit....which i can understand too...He was a very passinate european/ sensitive person......but to let a ulcer go that LONG & ignore or no treament......😢😟😟😟😟🙏🙏💔💔💔💔💔💔then again 1920's. ANTIBIOTICS didnt really get going for 2 more yrs.....and his LOVELY house udiots in Hollywood tore it DOWN just a few Yrs Ago i think!!!!...
Yes i heard that song just recently...BEAUTIFUL.....voice
I realised that I have a crush on a man who is 100years older than me 😂😂 I can't believe this...😄
Join the club
86 years older than me…I was born in 1981
84 older than me
I still remember a friend's first reaction to seeing Valentino: "He doesn't look real!"
Truly, his beauty was remarkable, like nothing Hollywood has ever seen before or since. And he was a fine actor as well; marvelous how convincing he is here as both the young and middle-aged sheik.
He was magnificent and beautiful
It might just well be Rudy's make ups and costumes that you friend fell for and thought him mesmerising. I had worked in theatre previously and seen the wonders that makeups and costumes altered actors' looks, character, etc. An actor can look beautiful and youthful on stage, but when makeups and costumes come off, he is a different person. Fans don't see actors' skin blemishes beneath makeups, baldness under wigs and hair extensions, and so on.
@@pinklady7184, so true. But in Rudy's case, I think that he exuded something so special that I swoon even when I see him in his own clothing!
Long before I was born,but must say that this silent movie , background music...Much better than the idiotic stuff Hollywood tosses us these days....
Exeptions of course ,but ...
He is the image of my Young Italian hisband who died at only 26 years. The same passion the same carisma. I Am a grandma now but i still love him passionately. Valentino is so like he was.
You are so happy that you had a true love :) And a fact that he looked like Valentino makes it magical...
Wow lucky woman
Could you put his photo up?
The Son of The Sheik was 31 years old when he died ..,
But, never mind ...
He was unique ! He is IMMORTAL !!!
The proof ?
We are STILL talking about HIM !!!
Thsts true. So whose to say if this isnt cteating energy on otherside
Almost a century. And Valentino still charm to audiences. And without say any word. Just a screen legend...
What beautiful gentleman💕💔❤️💕Sad he passed away at a young age.
Sad and he reminds me a bit of my youngest of two sons. Margarit Elena-04Nov2020-thanks for these movies.
God i'm so in love with him!! 😭 Apart from his beauty, his sensuality which is the first thing that strikes you in the beginning, its his personality that is pure gorgeous!
Valentino had so much charisma!
Alright, so it's 2019, I'm 25 years old and yet I'm head over heels with Rudolph. Where are men like this today?..
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I have this unrealistic crush on a man that is 71 years older than me and not even alive.
At the trap house
@@heatherhamrick5631 Lovely
I don’t know about now but 35 years ago I found my sheik. He rescued me and made my life a paradise.
I am here
The one and only Rudolph Valentino
Things are never gonna be the same without Rudolph Valentino.
This is . . . amazing, it's. . . thrilling. He is more than his legend. The most beautiful man I've ever seen. It's easy to understand with so little words. I just wanted to look at Valentino. But the movie is awesome. He far goes beyond what I dreamt of.
Rodolfo Valentino was amazingly beautiful charming and the type of man l love rest in peace my sweet 🤴 prince
💕
He portrayed both father and son...and did so splendidly! 🏆🏆
His acting is so good.
Oh. My. Lord.He was so sensual and so handsome. Every gesture of his body conveyed such grace and sensuality. The way he looked at her with those dark eyes. Eyes that held such danger- such passion. The way in which he held himself. So confidently and so at ease with his physical perfection. The way he kissed her. Oh to be her. Swept away riding upon the desert sands wrapped in the arms of Valentino. ❤️
@Tom Meadows youre annoying and insecure lol
Valentino was special and their can never be another!!♥️
I just wanna say this sequel is soo many times better than the original movie ☺
Oh yes, that was the consensus when it premiered. I think Valentino's acting is so nuanced. Banky is divine. The "action" is well-directed and attention-grabbing and the close up shots of the lovers are gorgeous. The last shot of them riding off together across the sands....off into an eternity together. - Sounds romantic? Films could make huge statements like that and truly move people way back then.
I agree...
Agreed
Que hermoso sale en esta película y pensar que fue su última ermuy buen actor en esta que hace de padre y hijo demostró a parte de ser tan lindo muy buen actor un pionero del cine mudo
His acting elevates this way beyond even the iconography of the original. He really left us too soon.
Poor Rudy 😢☹️☹️😥 he didn't live long to enjoy his succses he was a great actor handsome like no other and talented so sad his gone rip
He really was an amazing actor for his day…and gooood looking.
This film is a real MASTERPIECE !
Valentino is always such a pleasure to watch. He and Buster Keaton are my favorite silent film actors.
7.06 Wow , what an athlete, no stirrups, just jumps on the horse with such elegance ! A true sportsman , this GORGEOUS man there will never be another Rudolph Valentino , “ I am he who loves you “ wow ! Wow!! Oozing charm so sensuous SUPERSTAR OF THE ERA
"I may not be the first victim --- but, by Allah, I shall be the one you'll remember!" I LOLed.
Rudy had such a great smile, joyous humor and tenderness It wasn't all about the Latin lover thing. And theres a wonderful story of him during filming that cast and crew would go into town after the film day to drink and carry on. Rudy always stayed behind and entertained kids in the cast. That's the caring person he was
His acting in this movie has improved since "The sheik". Iv been a fan of Rudi since I was a kid. I watched both movies in the MGM (Vegas) before it burned down. Their theater was so beautiful. The seats were little sofas. Anyway, yeah, love Rudi.
This is the same video but not the same sound. I have the original version of it and the music makes every scene more vibrant and dramatic. This was still an amazing video to find on youtube! Valentino has always been one of my favorite actors, ever since the third grade. He was beautiful, smart, and one of the finest actors in Hollywood who took his role seriously. When other actors would talk about random things during the silent movies, with the same gestures, Valentino said every one of his lines and placed emphasis on his words. You can almost tell when comparing his role to other stars in other silent films. He acted better in his one than the original Sheik movie to me.
I cried when I found out he had passed away so young. I mean, just looking at his face when he's beaten or his heart is breaking, it rivals the statue of David.
Well said!
Where did you buy the original version? I want to make sure that I can hear the original music as well.
Y porque si tienes la versión original, con la musica original ¿ no la has publicado en you tube?
Saludos.
Thanks for this film. I read a life story of Valentino 30 years ago but have never watched a film now I can see why he was so popular.
Do you remember which title you read? There's a lot of malicious biographers out there! Just like cops, it's sick that they hold the power (of the pen) and abuse it to deceive others, conceal facts, pass fiction as facts, etc..
that’s why most of the time I don’t don’t
read biographies.
Rudolph was born in 1895 and I was born in 1995, 100 yrs gap in age, woh . But still I'm lost in his eyes.
Though a Golden Age Hollywood buff since I was a kid (there go 30 odd years), it's the first time I ever watch a Valentino film - thanks to your video and the marvels of a Reddit list. Will certainly watch others starring him and other high profile actors like him.
Thank you very much.
A brilliant movie with a neat plot and an exciting finish to boot! As has already been suggested by the historical evidence, this film evidently did have a marked influence on the development of the eventual script for the "Desert Song" operetta which came shortly afterwards. I was happily surprised to note that Rudolph Valentino had much, much more of an expressive face than I had myself been expecting and was able to convey quite a range of emotions throughout the drama during this bygone age of cinema in its purest form.
They just don't make movies like this anymore-priceless!
Yes Rudy had gotten sick when he was filming Son of the sheik and was in terrible pain and had to be helped off his horse and was told that he needed to see a doctor but it passed
Stopped the video at 03:55 just to get lost in staring at this beautiful man.
I know! God help us!
Me too! I nearly melted!
@@kpzcbttp I'd already joined the giant pool on the floor
I did constantly. Sighing and ahhh ing and wishing 🥰 lots of screenshots. Such a honey
Rudolph has animal magnetism He glides like a panther sheer elegance , those languorous eyes WOW , what an athlete I’ve never seen a sexier Arab dressed the way he did Vilma is also gorgeous my mother adored him as she was born 1886 or 7 her era I came on Rudolph 3 weeks ago it took me 84 years to see his movies , now I understand what mother meant persona dominates the screen magnificent , there willNever be another like darling Rudolph Hollywood’s greatest movie star he was a natural his movements always elegant his stance with his arms folded Jasmin on the ground in the tent looks like “ Pharaoh “ he nonchalantly removes his belt that was so sexy then he takes out a cigarette case actually smoking suited him ( if only he knew tobacco) take note in the tavern when he’s dressed with the black cape hood over his head the camera zooms in he’s truly fantastic those eyes God truly created a magnificent specimen This is his best role 4 horsemen was also great that tango Oh My , yes I’m raving over a beautiful man that died 94 years ago but the legend lives excellent actor playing dual roles
You can tell Rudy had been working out compared to the Sheik! He has such beautiful arms and hands! One Fine Man!!!!!
Non e' mai morto....e' eterno..
He has the perfect face. Those latin good looks. A fine looking man. Would he have become such an icon had he lived to an old age? His career might not have lasted into the sound age due to his thick Italian accent. He probably would've faded into obscurity like so many other actors. The reality is that he died while still young with his youthful beauty intact. Preserved forever age 31- immortal. The first to achieve this position in history
Sooner him than me!
Actress Mae Murray, who dated Valentino, said that he only had a slight Italian accent.
Many people think that he would have made the transition to sound very well. He had a melodious baritone voice and his accent has been described as "minimal". The only surviving recordings of his voice are of him singing two songs, Relicare, in Italian, and the Kashmiri Love Song in English, available on TH-cam. Not a trained voice but pleasant and with good support. I think he would have been awesome in the talkies.
Valentino was a good actor, and did not seem to take his beauty too seriously. I think he would have been succesful with the talkies.
i think rudy would have don well in the talkies no doubt in my mind
So good to see these old movies. Just love them . Classic
The costumers sure knew what they were doing putting him in a short-sleeved shirt...!
I love him, if only we could go back to his times.
💕
One of the most senuous individuals I have ever seen! 🔥
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of him in dual roles because that was such a new thing at that time.
He already had played 3 roles in The Eagle!!!!
So good & versatile!!! & COMEDY!!!!
I Can Tell You Now, Valentino Was a Very Old, Highly Spiritual Being. His Diary On Apple Book Shows How Very Well Read and Intelligent He Was. A Person Carries All that with Them From Past Incarnations. That Is If You Are a Highly Enlightened Soul. His Beauty Within Manifested Itself In His Causes and Effects In Life and Life Was Blessed to Have Him. My Prayers and Best Wishes Are to Him What Ever Dimension or Universe He Is In. His Movies are No Doubt My Favorite. Thanks Rudolph Valentino.
Bravo! This was delightful to watch. What a wonderful time in cinema history. Such as shame we will never see this again.
oh god rudy .... you lovely man
Beautiful Handsome Rudolph Valentino I Love You Beautiful Movie....❤
HOW COULD HE DO THIS MOVIE ...W AN PERFORATED ULCER??? How.......😢😢😟💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
thanks for sharing the movie, my father told me a lot about R. Valentino admired him.
Men like Rudolph Valentino come once in a Millennium. Before Valentino their was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and William Shakespeare. All three knew how too woo women with music,words, and dance 🕺
Согласна с вами Валентино самый красивый и талантливый на земле актер и Моцарт самый великий музыкант
I love you Rudolph Valentino❤
💕❤
Yasmine: Out here, first born of a mule!
Ahmed Senior: You can't blame *that* on a parrot!
Ahaha! I love it. The comedy in this film is golden.
Really enjoyed this movie. Valentino was really handsome and charming.
Oh I just love this one! Its so much better than The Sheik. We get closer screen shots, more action and this one is more comedy. Thank you for posting this, never take it down. More people will find their way here, like me. ☺
Well said. WELL said!!!I never thought that I would think about him in this way. I don't know what brought me to Valentino videos. By some kind of default I guess. I watched music sound overs like "You Take My Breath Away," and "All I want To Do Is Touch You.' I get very sad. Very lonely for him. So sad that he passed away, too!!
@@zimjun7 FEEL EXACTLY same....im so sentimental cant even eat!!!! Then made mistake of listening to when He passes away & the dam tabloids lying & disrespectful to Him & fans & exploiting Him......they where devils then & DEVILS NOW.....FAKE NEWS & tabloids
@@zimjun7 this is how i feel too.....its like grief over FAMILY member....its miserable.......
@@karenhill3970 The last thing he said was: "Don't pull the shades. I want the sun to greet me in the morning." He WILL see the light of day. God remembers those who have died. It will be an earthly resurrection. That was His original plan for us to live forever here in the beginning. We are living in unique times. Events are going to be settled!
A side point (and a good one ) IF Rudy were alive in our time, doctors would have administered sulfur drugs and penicillin for his peritonitis. He MOST likely would have lived!
Having read the Sheik and its sequel, I notice some of Ahmed's characteristics in the first book got into the second film. There are some scenes in the first movie where his character looks like a spoiled petulant boy to me; perhaps that is intended or it is Valentino's youthful age that gives it away. Nevertheless, it's an iconic role.
In "Son of the Sheik" movie, Ahmed Jr. looks like a full-grown man at the height of his power. Valentino's attire, revealing his strong arms, lends to that strength. The way he glowers at Yasmine after thinking she betrayed him and claims her as his own; it mirrors the relentless behavior of Ahmed in the original book.
It was during the filming of this movie, which began in Feb. 1926, that it became clearly evident that Rudy was already ill....on horseback, he suddenly doubled over in pain and Karl Dane, who played Ramadan, assisted him off the horse...the pain passed, but the path was set for the further deterioration of Rudy's health. June Mathis visited the set and urged him to take a long rest...Sadly, Rudy ignored the warnings and he passed that August....
😪😪😪
Rudi was Divine!
AHS brought me here. Fantastic Actor!
So glad AHS: Hotel is keeping the legend of Valentino alive by introducing it to a whole new generation and era.
Rudolph Valentino was born a gorgeous young man...but I think he brought more to the role! ...He was remembered well! :)
The thing is, He made more Effort than Others in the SILENT ERA -- did u Know that He had his Scripts printed up in 2 LANGUAGES, so He wouldn't miss a NUANCE. This Factored into his Attitude on Screen, & his MARVELOUS GESTURES.
Of course, since He was a dancer, he had Natural Poise & wonderful Hand movements.
The only actor l would have loved to sit down and have dinner with.
А я бы с ним поспала бы
This is the second silence film that I watch...first was the shiek ... Rudy was so fine dam!
We think so too in TEXAS USA. the great state)!!!..now we know how our sisters in the 1920's felt.....!!! Darn!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Vilma Banky one of the most beautiful women in the world at the time. An incredibly gorgeous woman! The music is a bit to overstated. Where you need slower romantic themes, it sounds like action or a fight is going on. But not bad. I'm only 5 and half minutes in. But characters had individual themes in real Silent film scores.
Before There was Elvis Presley THERE WAS Rudolph Valentino!!
I always enjoy reading the place card descriptions in these films they are sometimes flowery and verbose with cloyingly descriptive allusions to to the unspoken desire for sex. It’s no wonder he was a heartbreaker in his day also it is reflective of certain style of archaic speech that is politely well mannered and fascinating from the time period everything is written with such deliberate measured language I wish we spoke with half as much erudite intonation today
I Love the speech from this ERA ! It is more Polite & I Feel that Today, they overdo it with the "OVERT' sexy speech in film.
This film was made 94 years ago
Is that a joke? 😳
The scene of horsemen riding on the sandy desert is what most viewers remember about the movie.
Thank you for updating this great movie
Che bell'uomo! And he could act!
Always wanted to see this film. Thanks for uploading!
I think they are BOTH WONDERFUL. Wish there had been a third....😩😩😩😩💔💔💔
Legendary...
Que bella película, que varonil y sensual es Rodolfo Valentino. Definitivamente, debí nacer en otro tiempo.
The orchestral background music enhances the drama very well.✨🎶🎵🎶📽✨
This movie was released after his death.
Great movie I cried.
Também era Valentino como o pai Sheik neste filme? Se for, a maquiagem que o envelheceu e as cenas de pai e filho juntos na luta ficaram perfeitas, considerando aquela época da filmagem!
Te amarei eternamente Rodolph Valentino. ❤😘
Handsome Valentino, but i found the music annoying
You and me too. The music doesn't fit the action. It sounds like just a classical score they chose and slapped it onto the film without any regard as to whether the music fit the emotion of the scenes within the film. I much prefer as good old Vitaphone score.
I agree that the music doesn't fit. I much prefer the electronic "Cafe Maure Orchestra" compilation by Eric Beheim. Each scene is orchestrated with great care and the music fits perfectly with the mood of the drama. Bleheim uses some well-known Borodin melodies, particularly in the love scenes, which adds a sensuous, exotic flavor. In my opinion, the music heard here gives me a feeling of disconnect. It does not enhance this film at all.
valentino super sexy, maravilloso. gracias por compartir esta peli
I want to thank you so much for these classics. If not for you, I'd of NEVER SEEN ( even looked on ....well, never mind) LOL, I hope they can be left here for generations to come. Nameste :)
Rudolph Valentino = materialized fantasy.
The art of seduction by Robert Greene brought me here
me too,lol...greetings from peru,i speak spanish
Grande ator ! Ele era perfeito .
Hey 😯 it's Elvis doing the movie "Harem Scarem" back in the 1920's. Take a real good look. Rudolph Valentino and Elvis both extremely goodlooking men.
I beg the differ! Elvis is in no way shape or form as beautiful, intelligent, romantic and definitely not as gorgeous as he was!!! Rudy was his own and no other male hollywood star is on his level!! Hes just sooo GORGEOUS 😍😍😍😘😘😘
@@tonyadenton9196 harum scarum was a updated remake of the movie Elvis loved doing it because of Valentino
@@tonyadenton9196 apparently elvises funeral was the biggest crowd since valintino also
Valentino's final picture just months before his death in August 1926 at age 31.
His Birth was May 6, 1895.
This is the oldest sequel I've ever seen!
I love this movie romantic and funny
well-made film, but the music is better suited to 18th century Vienna.
Love it!
la musique ne va pas du tout avec les images.
Rudolph Valentino 🌟 l'irresistibile fascino latino senza tempo 🔥
Bynunsky Hyman
born: 01 July 1882
Russia died: 22 June 1948
Camarillo State Hospital,
Camarillo, California,
(age 65)
Russian-born dwarf actor. He died twelve years after being admitted to hospital for treatment of alcoholism and a stomach ailment. Upon recovery, he asked to be allowed to remain as a paying guest in the institution where he had made many friends.
He is buried in Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura County, California, USA.
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment. During the confinement at home have been watching old "Black & White" films and film history is incomplete without watching a film from the silent era of Rudolph.Valentino.This was the last film of Valentino and the kissing scenes answers the question was Rudolph.Valentino the first ever screen superstar ? Yes is the answer as the hysteria of his death proved the fact among legions of his female fans. As for his male fans he must have definitely been responsible for making cigarette smoking a fashion statement. The dwarf comedian could also be a reason for this film being a super-hit of its era.A must watch film and definitely the best or one of the best film of Valentino . Ahoy !
The music really doesn’t match this mute movie at all! I had to watch the whole thing without music just so I could get through it!
You're right, it doesn't match well. I muted it and played some Persian music instead.
* Long protracted sigh/furious eyelash batting* !!!! ;-)
The Italian Rodolfo Valentino
Angela Bender half french / italia
@@donnarusk1298 Even though he is half French, the fact that he was born and raised in Italy makes him more Italian than French. he has the culture and the Italian way of doing
@@SLASHzoneYEAH his charm is 100% italian.
Great movie, thank you for posting.
From 11:26 til 11:37....omg😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 that was romantic
It's a beautiful man
