Rudolph Valentino CRAMPS!

A scene from 1918's "A Society Sensation". Features a then unknown Rudolph Valentino, and actress Carmel Myers. In this clip poor Rudy gets leg cramps while swimming. It calls for a really fancy "CRAMPS!" title card, and of course a rescue from Carmel.
The music is "Fields, Shorelines and Hunters" by M83

Great vid, but the music is aweful...

[NEUROGLIACELL]

@1926valentino yes, it does inspire awe. It's by a wonderful band from France called M83. Oh....you meant awful. Well, I guess we all have different tastes. I sort of the like the incongruity between the music and the film, although I thought the bits that sounded like waves crashing went well. It isn't a "pretty" song though.

Hey, look! Baywatch 1918!

If I'd been the girl who rescued Rudy, just to be on the safe side, I would have given him mouth to mouth. ;-)

Great video. He was soooo handsome. It's such a shame he died so young. Too young. Thank you for posting this.

Can the film be watched anywhere?? :D

[TheKnitster]

This is a great clip. Of course if I were there, I would have dived in to rescue him, sharks or no sharks. Thanks for posting to YT.

@LaTuaAlba So would I, as many times as I could, "just to be on the safe side" (yeah right . . . who am I kidding???)
