The Married Virgin

The silent screen's greatest lover in an early performance. "The Married Virgin" is one of the first films featuring Rudolph Valentino, who would soon star in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and "The Sheik," establishing him as a silent era screen icon in 1921. Valentino plays Count Roberto di Fraccini, a fortune hunter having an affair with the wife of a wealthy older businessman while trying to finagle a large sum of money from the family by any means necessary. Valentino's striking appearance and the strength of his performance foreshadow the superstar he would soon become. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
