Bronxgirl48 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hi, metsie! So sorry to hear about your earache. Pretend Rudy is whispering into it, that might help. Thank you for your yummy photo, he looks SO good there! ASTONISHING DISCOVERY!!! ASTONISHING DISCOVERY!! A 1918 film, let me repeat the year, 1918, titled THE MARRIED VIRGIN, with Valentino giving an AMAZING PERFORMANCE AS A HITCHCOCK-TYPE PSYCHO FORTUlNE HUNTER IN A FILM THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE HITCH COULD HAVE DIRECTED IT!!! All these clips are from THE MARRIED VIRGIN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HhOEkF_vCo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=246Q1aCwM5U Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Jun 5, 2011 5:18 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Rudy didn't have the best taste in women." > > < Sigh! > Alas and alack. Poor Rudy. Well, you get what you pay for. Have you ever seen photos of Natasha, er, I mean, Winifred? She makes Tallulah Bankhead look warm and loving. > > "I haven't seen 'BLOOD AND SAND' yet, because I read that some parts are missing, a dressing-room scene. Apparently Valentino starts removing his clothes but then the next second he's walking out the door fully dressed. That's no fun for female viewers." > > Imini-ma-ma-ma-gination! (But I'm too lazy). Say, I just finished Part 4 of "EYES OF YOUTH." I didn't miss Valentino, did I? Clara Kimball Young has just come back from her future, an old maid, grey-haired and unemployed. What the heck's going on? Should I stick with it? And where the heck is Rudy?!! (I was happy to see unstereotyped Black kids in the film. Who dropped the ball and let THAT happen? They made 'em human). Go to the end of Part 6 in EYES OF YOUTH, around 9:29. You'll see his title card introducing "Clarence Morgan, cabaret parasite", and then there's Rudy! > > "I'd love to see Rex Harrison's underarms." > > I'll leave you to it, Eliza. I have a feeling, though, that Rex's arms might be on the thin side, like Paul's. > > "But if he expects me to bring him his pipe and slippers -- forget it!" > > Don't be so progressive, Mrs. Higgins. You might as well go all the way. In for a penny, in for a pound. Pip pip! Now get those slippers, Wifey! Read my lips -- NO SLIPPERS. But, maybe for Rudy. > > "Maven, I wish I could give you the denouement in HOUSE because it will blow your mind.. If you want me to give spoilers in a PM, let me know." > > No, that's okay. I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday and ordered "...92nd STREET." It'll be in next week. Thanx. Wonderful! Can't wait to hear your reactions about "Mr. Christopher" > > "I've always thought of hand-kissing as a charming Old World but unsexy practice. But Rudy changed everything for me." > > You have a point. As long as that's the start and not the finish. Well as I so cautiously and delicately tried to explain. all Rudy would have to do is kiss my hand, if you, uh, get my drift. > > "I forgot about the urchin in GWANGI. I didn't watch it and don't remember if Gila was dubbed or not. Wasn't she in 'THE YOUNG INTERNS?' Or was that Ina Balin?" > > Ina Balin (not Ina Claire) was in "THE YOUNG INTERNS" & "FROM THE TERRACE" and Zohra Lampert was in "SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS." Now Gila Golan was with Jerry Lewis in "THREE ON A COUCH" and was with James Coburn in "OUR MAN FLINT." HA! Thanks for sorting them out. You were a help with Susan Oliver and the other Susan (the English one) whose name is escaping me right now. You know, in STRAW DOGS. It's coming to me now --- Susan George. > > "I'm telling you, the power of Rudolph Valentino 85 years after his untimely demise is astonishing. Just reading female YouTube posters commenting on the videos is fascinating. They gush and swoon as we are doing." > > That just shows that star power transcends the decades. ...And when you've got "IT" you've got "IT." And Rudy seemed to have more of IT than anyone else. > > "Rex Ingram stupidly said he could make a Latin Lover out of anybody, (remember Antonio Moreno? I rest my case). Can you imagine? What prompted Ingram to this evaluation baffles me beyond belief." > > Antonio was attractive, but Ingram's statement just speaks to men's need to control things. "I MADE YOU AND I CAN BREAK YOU!" Yeah, right, Goober! You know your human nature, Maven. And yes, Moreno was good-looking, but there's just no comparion with Valentino. Every guy of that era just pales besides Rudy, seem so effete and artificial. > > "I'm going to make a Hot Bug-Eyed Actress List." > > Just post it where we can find it. I can only think of --two-- three off the top of my head: > > * Susan Sarandon > * Sylvia Sidney > * And the Aunt from "BEWITCHED" (Marion SomethingOrOther). Ah, Aunt Clara, Marion Lorne, lol, so true But she was old, very old. (centuries as a witch) I hope you won't be upset when I say that the beautiful and lovely Gail Russell had a little bug-eye going on, but I do love her and mean no disrespect. I can't imagine any red-blooded man not wanting to keep looking at her. > > "Who's Gene Reynolds? I'll have to go to the imdb board." > > I've spoken of him before, but it's not cool to lust over a young boy, so I've got to be careful: I feel that way about Jack Wild. > > http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Gene_Reynolds_in_Gallant_Sons_trailer.jpg/220px-Gene_Reynolds_in_Gallant_Sons_trailer.jpg > > "I just found out Valentino was an excellent cook. Picture it: a night of love, then he gets up and makes spaghetti carbonara. No weight gain, if you know what I mean." > > I'm picturing it. And I'm hungry. Please tell me he's wearing just an apron. It will help. Oh, I love pasta...too. > > "No apron. The only thing he'd be wearing is a smile on his face." > > Hmmmm...that'll work. But to be on the safe side, we'd better put an apron on him. We wouldn't want anything to get burnt. Is chocolate syrup good for burns? Uh-oh, we better stop this. > > "They cast Ty in the 'BLOOD AND SAND' remake because he looks remarkably like Valentino. But without the charm. Power never did anything for me. There is something off-putting about his personality. Now, I wouldn't say no to him, but, I don't know..." > > Fair enough Bronxie...JackaaaAaaay. More Power for me. I thought he was sexy as the mean ol' mentalist Stan in "NIGHTMARE ALLEY." But it's okay, we don't have to share all our toys. Power definitely has the looks and intensity, also acting chops, but for me something's missing...charm, grace, humor. > > "Dick Powell is sexy as a 'humanimal' in 'YOU NEVER CAN TELL.'... I'm trying to come up with other actors who could have played it, and to perfection, but come up empty. Who else could be a German Shepherd come back to Earth to search for his murderer? Certainly not, say, Fred MacMurray. Dick has a charming and playful canine air about him. He's a cutie -- woof!" > > You always make a good point. I thought Powell in his wavy haired tenor days was a cutie. I thought Powell in his hard-boiled days he was wonderfully sarcastic, or sardonic. Sexy was never the first or last thought in my mind on him. But that's okay too. Check out YOU NEVER CAN TELL -- those two qualities you wonderfully describe (cute and sardonic) are perfectly expressed there in a sort of metaphysical send-up of his noir ****. > > "Rudy and his doggie!" > > Funny, he doesn't look like Dick Powell. At first I thought that was a fox. Rudy's foxy too. > > "Rudy making my spaghetti carbonara! (I had to dress him up for the message board)." > > That spaghetti looks just about the right length. I'm tempted to say something. But I won't, lol. > > "Rudy posing with our children." > > They're darling ValentinoGirl. Only two? Planned Parenthood, I see. (Lets not lose its funding!) I'm getting a ouija board to contact my husband Rudy and expect to receive nightly visitations from himi soon. A blessed event might soon happen. > > > Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Jun 5, 2011 11:26 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Oh...my...gosh...Cary Grant violently whipping Jack LaRue! This is the kinkiest thing I've seen yet!! Wow. Jack looks and sounds SO much like Bogart, it's uncanny! What movie is that from? Oh, I didn't mention Errol Flynn, since you asked about him and Ty Power in comparison to Valentino. I agree with Jackie that Flynn is "jaunty" -- he doesn't have the raw/sweet sensuality of Rudy, but there is charm galore, and a kind of fairy-tale, ephemeral yet timeless quality about him. Ty is gorgeous, but oh so grim, and I'm not sure he even enjoys romance on screen all that much!

I just saw it on YouTube, thanks to you. Didn't know it was a Rudy film! Once again, Valentino gives a subtle, versatile performance, and just blows everybody else off screen. The print quality was poor, but I did enjoy the story, especially the last half, ha! That gold creature looked like something out of an Ed Wood, Jr. movie, lol. (I still covet it, though. Never miss Lisa Robertson live from Italy when QVC airs the Vicenza show) Alice Terry, the more I see her, reminds me of Myrna Loy. PAGING MISS GODDESS AND FRANKGRIMIES re: the clips of THE MARRIED VIRGIN and my Hitchcock comparison -- could you weigh in on this and tell me I'm not crazy? You, too, Jackie! Wow, a silent GATSBY, and with Bill Powell and Warner Baxter yet! Who knew this existed?? And you know what? The more I see these pre-"stardom" Rudy movies, the more I'm convinced that he would inideed make a fascinating Jay Gatsby. Who could better epitomize the immigrant experience and reinvention-in-America than Valentino?

I made something for you (for us all, really): http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=147364 Hello there JackaaaAaaay, The last photo of Rudy stopped me dead in my tracks; my jaw dropped. He's got the headdress, cigarette in hand and the bracelet on his wrist. It is an intense shot. I can almost taste that photograph. I want it hanging in my home as an 8 x 10. It has become my favorite Valentino pix. Alice Terry is very lovely. But who's that intense brunette Rudy is glaring at? She has a "Look." How can one man...one man mind you, look arrogant, haughty, sorrowful, soulful, mysterious, sensuous, romantic, pensive and just so damned gorgeous?! It's a crime, I tell you; a crime against female humanity. Thank you for the photos JackaaaAaaay. By the by...as for the other picture? < ( Sigh! ) > Yeah...it gives new meaning to row...row...row your "boat"...gently, "gently"...down the "stream".

(And to think I almost traveled to a film noir fest in San Francisco for just one day, just to see her in "THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES"). Now I don't think I'd use the term: "bug-eyed."

Well...two outta three ain't bad. "My love life is taken care of for the next thirty years. All I have to do is watch a Valentino video." Ohhhhhhhkay. Hey, it's a wise woman who can take care of herself. "Excellent question. Let me get back to you on that because it's late and I can't think. Not that this is different from when it's early. I'll await your answer. In the midst of the bantering...I glean your pearls of wisdom. "Tommy Rettig, LOL! I retract Gail from the bug-eye category, you are right, she's heavy-lidded. I was influenced by some unfortunate pix of Russell in her sadder later years when she was not looking good due to personal problems." Dear sweet Gail. A shame. "Actually, I never found this to be true, so I always had to freeze my M&M's. Did they have that candy back when Rudy was around? What were his favorite foods, I wonder? I have to know! Other than pasta, I mean." Oh that's just swell. Now Rudy's "M & M"s are frozen...If the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, quick...do some research and find out: "WHAT DOES RUDY EAT?!" "Check out 'YOU NEVER CAN TELL' -- those two qualities you wonderfully describe (cute and sardonic) are perfectly expressed there in a sort of metaphysical send-up of his noir ****." What a lob. I'm tempted to say something but I won't. Nope, not gonna do it. "Like Gene Tierney in 'THE RAZOR'S EDGE', you've got a steel will!" Like Gene Tierney in "LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN" I always throw myself down the stairs when I come on this Board. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeee! But IF I were to say something...I'd say...is that even anatomically possible? Is that what they don't want to tell? Awwwwright! I know. I've totally lost all credibility and respect on this Message Board. "I've led you down the primrose path." Nothing prim about that path. I'm over 21. Gee, I'm over 31. Heck, I'm over 41. Darn it...I'm over...the edge. "Harry Houdini hasn't showed up yet either, and his wife Bess had been trying for years, but I think I'll be luckier with my ouija board. I love ouija boards, they're fun! Unless you get people you don't want, like Mary Meredith." "Red! Red! Call me Ellen Berent. I'll throw that plaster saint down the stairs if she comes near you." (How'd Marnie get in this conversation)? "Oh...my...gosh...Cary Grant violently whipping Jack LaRue! This is the kinkiest thing I've seen yet!! Wow. Jack looks and sounds SO much like Bogart, it's uncanny! What movie is that from?" The film's called: ?THE WOMAN ACCUSED.? Is that kinky in a good way or a bad way? "I never heard of this picture before, needless to say. Let me see, well, it's kinky in a good AND bad way, is all I can say." Aaaaah, the best kind: good and bad simultaneously. "Buona notte!" Have a --good nite-- uhmm --good morning-- uhmmm...have a good week Bronxie. Thank you so much for the conversation. You have a rapier wit. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
