There was more to this guy than meets the eye.
Lots of British performaers in this, with fake American acents, that was the only part which spoiled it for me as I recognised most of them. Nonstop biopic some of it enhanced by the imagination of the Director, which is not a bad thing. This is Valentino, warts and all, contrary to the imagination of many ladies, he was only human
Younger viewers may ask who was Valentino, if you don't know, then this film will be wasted on you. Top notch camera work and lighitng, superb film.
Typical Ken Russells oblique view of history. For fans only, or if you want a quick peak at Linda Thorsons left one.
