Renee B 08/24/2024 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! See more Read all reviews
