...partly because of Rudolph Valentino, an actor who expressed passion by bulging his eyeballs and moodily waggling his whipstock. Undaunted, M-G-M decided to risk a remake of Horsemen.

Inverse Ratio. Formed ten years ago, Four Star is actually run by three stars (Powell, David Niven and Charles Boyer) and ex-Adman Tom McDermott.
