Movie Info

Based on a Pushkin novel, The Eagle stars Rudolph Valentino as a Russian cossack who is the special favorite of the formidable Catherine the Great (Louise Dresser). He spurns her attentions, preferring not to be a kept consort. When his lands are stolen from him, Valentino transforms into a Robin-Hood-like masked avenger. Vilma Banky plays the daughter of the man who killed Valentino's own father. Despite his thirst for revenge, our hero falls in love with Vilma, who goes the "Lois Lane" route

This is a satisfying picture in which Mr. Brown introduces some interesting touches.

[Valentino demonstrates] his star power as forcefully as in any of his other efforts, even when the film seems painfully derivative.

Valentino is dashing in the role, but it is difficult to see what made him so popular from this movie.

Superb classic silent film, what a great cast. Rudolph Valentino is at his best. Good story with a great pace. The sets are excellent and the cinematography is good.
