Even though he appears only briefly in this part, you can feel Rudy's very strong presence. I got a sense of how powerfully he would command the screen in later films.
I never knew this existed until now. Thank you! Oh my goodness, I hardly recognized Rudy! Yes, he does have a powerful presence, even in that brief scene.
LOL!! Writing at 9:42: " This garden of women needs a ruler......you're it! You've been The Sheik and The Young Rajah. . . . ."
I wonder if that's what it originally read in the 1918 original or was it changed in 1922?
Alright I just found this in the "Info Window" bar to the right of the screen. It explains a lot, and yes, my suspicions were right. "The film was not a success but after Valentino shot to fame it was then re-cut again and released in 1922 as 'The Isle Of Love'. The result of this troubled history is a troubled film with a bizarre and often inexplicable plot. Valentino appears in multiple scenes where the same shots have been used to make his role bigger. . . .",
1:04. Girl dives majestically off cliff. SPLASH! Next, shes coming out, looking like it was into 2ft foot of water! Now that, is impressive! Creased me right up. I jumped off a pier once when about 8 into maybe 3ft of water thinking that as soon as my heels touched, I would shoot them out landing on my bum. It worked! My spine however, felt like it was vibrating with just my head and shoulders above water. Not the cleverest thing Ive done. :o)o; Ta for posting this.
Julian Eltinge was a female impersonator

Just noticed this--at 10:16 they mention "Blood and Sand." LOL! This is just too much for coincidence!

This movie has a guy pretending to be a woman. I wonder if this is the first movie to use drag. lol.
