Movie Reviews of Beyond the Rocks
Movie Review: Swanson and Valentino - silent cinema magic
Summary: 5 Stars
In her autobiography* Gloria Swanson asked : "Does anybody know of a print anywhere of Beyond the Rocks, the film Rudy Valentino made with me in 1921?" Lost for decades, this wonderful example of the art of popular silent film culture was discovered in the collection of an eccentric movie-buff in Holland after his death. Beautifully restored by the Nederlands Filmmuseum, apart from some brief scenes where the print was too deteriorated to salvage, the film is a joy from beginning to end. The performances of the two stars and the supporting players are outstanding, Elinor Glyn's racy (for the era) storyline is hugely entertaining and the extras on the DvD are truly remarkable. I watched this movie twice in the first week it arrived. Unreservedly recommended.

Movie Review: Sensational!
Summary: 5 Stars
Valentino and Swanson are tremendous in "Beyond the Rocks", but the real gem on this disk is "The Delicious Little Devil" with Mae Murray and Rudolph Valentino. One of the most delightful films I have ever had the pleasure of watching. This is her film, and its her personality and charm that makes it so enjoyable. Its sad to think that after being one of Hollywood's highest-paid stars she died completely forgotten in 1965.
A highly recommended and enjoyable disk....
Movie Review: A Great Find!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's always such a great day when a lost movie of the Silent Era is found. In Gloria Swanson's autobiography she stated that one day she hoped this movie would be found for people to enjoy. A dream now comes true. Gloria's Wedding dress is so beautiful in the wedding scene. Such a beautiful film. True Gloria Swanson and Valentino fans will love this film.Movie Review: Glad this film was found and restored so new generations can have it
Summary: 5 Stars
Valentino is really a legend, I think I haven't seen
another actor with that carisma that he had. He was
very handsome!
