ln a departure from his onscreen persona of Latin Iover, siIent-era sex symbol RudoIph VaIentino delivered one of the most nuanced and powerful performances of his career in this epic romance set in 18th-century Russia, directed by CIarence Brown (FIesh and the DeviI, Anna Karenina). Valentino stars as VIadimir Dubrovsky, a lieutenant in the lmperiaI Guard who becomes a fugitive after he rejects the amorous attentions of the Czarina Catherine II (Louise Dresser). Returning to the land of his father, Dubrovsky becomes a masked defender of justice known as the Eagle, and swears vengeance upon a nobIeman (James A. Marcus) who has been victimizing the poor and weak. But before he can right the wrongs of the eviI Kyrilla Troekouroff, Dubrovsky’s true identity is reveaIed and he must face the judgement of the spurned Catherine.
