Cobra Summary
Director: Joseph Henaberry
Genres: Drama, Romance
Rating:
Silent screen idol Rudolph_Valentino made his next-to-last screen appearance in this romantic comedy/drama. Count Rodrigo Torriani (Valentino) is a notorious ladies' man who has become the subject of a long list of breach-of-promise suits filed by disappointed former girlfriends, which has left him destitute. Needing to learn a new trade, Rodrigo comes to the U.S., where his knowledge of Italian artifacts is put to good use by Jack Dorning (Casson_Ferguson), an antique dealer. While Rodrigo's new trade would presumably put him back on the straight and narrow, such is not the case, as he finds himself the object of two different women's affections -- Mary (Gertrude_Olmstead), Jack's secretary, and Elise (Nita_Naldi), a wealthy socialite. Cobra reunited Valentino with Nita_Naldi, who had starred with him in Blood and Sand and A_Sainted_Devil; within a year of Cobra's release, Valentino would die unexpectedly, and within three years, Naldi would retire from the screen.
