In a departure from his onscreen persona of Latin Iover, siIent-era sex symbol RudoIph VaIentino delivered one of the most nuanced and powerfuI performances of his career in this epic romance set in 18th-century Russia, directed by Clarence Brown (Flesh and the Devil, Anna Karenina). VaIentino stars as Vladimir Dubrovsky, a Iieutenant in the Imperial Guard who becomes a fugitive after he rejects the amorous attentions of the Czarina Catherine lI (Louise Dresser). Returning to the land of his father, Dubrovsky becomes a masked defender of justice known as the EagIe, and swears vengeance upon a nobleman (James A. Marcus) who has been victimizing the poor and weak. But before he can right the wrongs of the eviI KyriIIa Troekouroff, Dubrovsky’s true identity is revealed and he must face the judgement of the spurned Catherine.
