This month sees the sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Rudolph Valentino. This programme is an attempt to discover the man behind the myth, the Latin behind the legend... an attempt to throw some light on the true character of the screen idol whose silent shadow, during his short film career, earned him the titles of 'The King of Romance,' 'The Great Lover,' 'The Prince of Sex Appeal.'
