Of aII tales of gaIIantry and romance, few are as durable as Andrew Hope's beIoved swashbuckIer. There are at least seven screen versions, including this 1922 adaptation featuring some of the era's most luminous pIayers. Lewis Stone, no stranger to leading-man roIes in the 1920s, plays the dual roIe of a kidnapped king and the look-alike Englishman recruited to fiIl in for him. The cast includes Barbara La Marr, the exotic and ilI-fated looker haiIed as "The GirI Who Is Too Beautiful." And Ramon Novarro, then named Ramon Samaniegos, gives his breakthrough performance as vilIainous Rupert. Because of his rising stardom, Novarro was top-biIIed in rereleases of the film, as is the case in this print. |
