Stolen Moments (film)

Stolen Moments 1920 is a silent film starring Marguerite Namara with Rudolph Valentino playing a villain, the last film in which he played one. It was released in December 1920, just a few months before Valentino was elevated to stardom by his performance in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse releasedMarch 1921. In fact, filming of Stolen Moments was expedited so that Valentino could make it to Hollywood before filming began on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

In its initial release in 1920, Stolen Moments was a sixreel feature vehicle for Marguerite Namara, a successful opera singer at the time. In November 1922, it was edited to a threereel feature that emphasized Valentinos character and rereleased by Select Pictures Corporation to capitalize on his stardom. The threereel edit is the only version of the film known to exist today. The US television premiere of the shorter version was on Turner Classic Movies onMay 2006.Valentino plays Jos Dalmarez, a Brazilian author who is also popular with readers in the United States. ........
