Long considered lost, a print of this 1922 silent melodrama was rediscovered in a private collection more than eighty years after it first delighted audiences. Sam Wood (A Night at the Opera) directs Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino--two of the era's biggest stars--in their only screen pairing. While on honeymoon with her wealthy but dull new husband, an aristocratic woman (Swanson) falls desperately in love with a handsome nobleman (Valentino) who sweeps her off her feet and away on a globetrotting adventure. "A cause for celebration. A testament to the extraordinary artistry of silent cinema" (Martin Scorsese). Tinted. Silent with English intertitles.
