    The only thing that can really be said for this film is that it proved Nureyev could act. I would like to see a new version of Valentino's life as it ... more

    Interestin

    Typical Ken Russells oblique view of history. For fans only, or if you want a quick peak at Linda Thorsons left one.

    Sumptuous

    A visually rich production, with Russell’s slightly surrealist style lending itself well to the equally unreal world of movie stars, then and now.

    Quite bad I'm afraid
