In this fictionalized version of the silent film era superstar, Rudolph Valentino (Franco Nero), a young and impoverished Italian immigrant, is discovered as he's robbing the house of screenwriter June Mathis (Suzanne Pleshette), a somewhat older woman who is already a film-world insider. After forgiving the young man, Mathis soon comes to recognize his star potential and leads him into the world of movies. Eventually, Valentino becomes the biggest male sex symbol of his time.

Franco Nero nailed it 100%!He was Rudolph Valentino. I first watched this incredible biopic when it first aired on television back in the day. Valentino was talented, beautiful, virle, and wonderful to look at. Franco Nero was the perfect choice to play the icon. Perfecto!
