Fascinating film - top notch Valentino performance., 31 July 2001 



Author: AA from Putney, VT 



What a fascinating film this is! The tale of a womanizer who gets his comeuppance, a bauble of a man whose sense of
honor delivers a happy ending for his friends, an empty one for him.



The tale of a Count who meets and befriends an American auctioneer while on holiday in Paris begins with Valentino
escaping an irate father's wrath for dallying with his daughter. The auctioneer notes the Count's knowledge of and
ownership of rare antiques and suggests employing him in NYC. However, he is soon up to his old tricks - he is a fool
for romance. He has his eye on his friend's secretary but allows himself to almost be seduced by his friend's new and
unfaithful wife, played very well by Nita Naldi. When his playful dalliancess ends in the death of the wife, he is torn
as to whether to tell his friend of her unfaithfulness and his part in the death or to suffer in silence. All comes out
in the end and he is forgiven but when he returns to hopefully claim the secretary as his bride, he finds in his absence
she and the best friend have formed a bond. Rather than break it, he leaves for France, a sadder and wiser man.



Valentino gives one of his best screen performances here, shifting easily from the comic opening scenes to the dramatic
second half. He shows a fine natural flair for comedy and is a natural with the romantic scenes. His proves himself a
subtle and sensitive dramatic actor in the last scenes. Certainly if there had been Academy Award nominations then he
would have received one for best Actor for his work here (as well as nods for his other fine work in FOUR HORSEMEN OF
THE APPOCALYPSE and BLOOD AND SAND). Very worth seeking out.

Compelling Valentino Performance, 16 July 2006



Author: sL from Dallas, TX.



*** This comment may contain spoilers ***



It's amazing to me that this compelling Valentino drama didn't do better when it was released! Maybe the audiences of
the time wouldn't accept him as anything but the sizzling sheik, but this is an entertaining melodrama. The good news is
that since it wasn't shown much, it leaves us with a pristine print. It's a good story with fine acting all around,
particularly from Rudolph and Nita Naldi, one of the silent screens most scintillating vamps.



Rudy plays Count Rodrigo Torriani, a charming Itallian ladies man who's always in hot water with the ladies. There are
some fine comedic moments at the beginning of the movie when the Count is trying to get himself out of one of these
unfortunate situations where his Latin gestures say more than words ever could! During the course of this incident, he
meets Jack Dorning,an Ameican antiques dealer who persuades him to come to America and work with him. Upon arrival, the
Count falls for Dorning's pretty assistant Mary Drake,played by Gertrude Olmstead, who embodies all the feminine virtues
that the Count has secretly been looking for.



The plot thickens as the Count gets himself into more trouble in America by attracting the attention of spoiled society
girl Elise, played with aplomb by Nita Naldi. Although she later marries his boss, Jack Dorning, she continues to pursue
him with all the wiles at her disposal. There is a sizzling seduction scene where Miss Naldi is dressed in a sexy gown
created especially for the movie. The music during this scene conveys the intensity of the moment, and adds to the
imagery of woman as cobra, ready to squeeze the life out of an unsuspecting victim.



The movie is slow moving to start, and the ending may seem banal to current audiences, but see this one for an unusual
Valentino performance, the lavish production values,and an absolutely beautiful print!

More Enjoyable Than It Has Any Right to Be, 22 May 2006



Author: d from New York City, USA



Rudy is very good, especially in the comedic parts. The story isn't much, and it would have helped if either of his
leading ladies had been Vilma Banky (the less said about the desiccated-looking Gertrude Olmstead the better). But Nita
Naldi's appeal is at least more apparent here than in "Blood and Sand," and her clothes, by Adrian, do a lot
for her. What's more, though she's a bad girl, she's a believable one. The film should be seen for Rudy's charm, for
William Cameron Menzies' very, very effective production design, and for the fact that the DVD is made from an
absolutely gorgeous, velvety, pristine, 35 mm print. It looks better than any other DVD I'm aware of with Valentino. A
hotel fire, which we learn about from a newspaper, should have been portrayed. It's really an obligatory scene, and the
movie is rather naked without it. It might have put the picture in the hit category, had it been done well.

I am the sex-obsessed man, and you're the cure. (oops wrong movie!), 18 September 2004



Author: S from Vancouver



I had some doubts when I first watching "Cobra" as I seem to recall long ago, a negative reaction to watching
one of Valentino's movies. But hey, guess what, despite some odd things, I actually liked it!



Valentino plays Rodrigo, a sex obsessed man who's actually had it up to HERE with women coming on to him all the time
(and vice versa!) he meets up with a antiques dealer from the US who persuades to come work for him. Believe me, I could
actually predict what was going to happen a mile away.



Anyways, Valentino plunges into his work, ignoring every woman that comes his way. When his antiques partner marries a
woman that was trying to woo Valentino, (which is surpising in itself, as it looked for a while that he was appearing to
be an "unwritten gay character" the woman keeps trying, even trying to woo Valentino up to a hotel room. From
this point, things take a laughably unpredictable turn (you don't see it coming) which leads us to the sad ending.
Awww.



The acting here is good for the period, but tends to rely on, as it always does with silent dramas, with too many people
looking glum, and looking off to the side. (you know what I mean). Valentino is quite good in this actually. Worth a
look.
