The Eagle Summary
Director: Clarence Brown
Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy
Rating:
Based on a Pushkin novel, The_Eagle stars Rudolph_Valentino as a Russian cossack who is the special favorite of the formidable Catherine the Great (Louise_Dresser). He spurns her attentions, preferring not to be a kept consort. When his lands are stolen from him, Valentino transforms into a Robin-Hood-like masked avenger. Vilma_Banky plays the daughter of the man who killed Valentino's own father. Despite his thirst for revenge, our hero falls in love with Vilma, who goes the "Lois Lane" route of adoring the masked-avenger Valentino but disdaining the unmasked Rudy, little guessing that the two are one in the same. Watch quickly for Gary_Cooper as one of Valentino's masked minions. Hal Erickson, Rovi
