The Conquering Power (1921)

THE CONQUERING POWER  (1921)  ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Rex Ingram
    Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Ralph Lewis
Rudy plays a French playboy who has to make his way in the world when a miserly uncle cheats him out of his inheritance. Valentino made this on the heels of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", as his career was really taking off. Unfortunately, his character disappears for a big chunk of the movie, and without his presence, something's definitely missing. That wouldn't happen so much in the years and films that followed.
