...title character's moment in the spotlight, but Nureyev's Valention remains a distant figure, a romantic anachronism bursting forth with panache and charisma and little else. Russell seems to persist in the belief that audiences enjoy having their senses assaulted and will consider it entertainment; grotesques and caricatures dot the screen in Valentino, evoking some of Fellini's lesser films. The ambience of the Twenties is effectively recaptured by the film, but Valentino never gets around to addressing the ethos that prevailed in the America of that fabled epoch.

She starts to compliment him on his tennis, gets lost in one of her enchanted word-forests, then subsides into pretty embarrassment: "Oh, God, Annie ... Well, oh, well ..." And then the murmur of defeat: "La-de-dah, la-de-dah." Heartbreaking. Does anyone doubt that young women across...
...frightful red dot that will appear on these students' registration envelopes will force rerouting to the Term Bill Office and a fine of $10 if they cannot produce checks to cover the first installment of their term bills...
Candy Darling is attractive as Addie's sister Nellie (why has her name here been changed to Jennie, and their father's from Emil to Otto?), and Deborah Rush makes Dot into a squeaky-voiced ninny. Robert Sevra's singing voice is a bit too strained for the fickle-hearted Tom. As up-and-coming composer Sid, Doyle Newberry is fittingly earnest, but (like most real composers) he isn't much of a singer. Russ Beasley is stiff as Sam Herzig, a producer, but he looks like any producer's dream of a handsome, mustachioed matinee idol. And Carl Nicholas...
