Kino Video have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of director Ken Russell's film
Valentino (1977), starring Rudolf Nureyev, Leslie Caron, Michelle Phillips, Carol Kane, Seymour Cassel, Peter Vaughan, and Felicity Kendal. The release will be available for purchase on January 5, 2016.
Synopsis: In 1926 the tragic and untimely death of a silent screen actor caused female moviegoers to riot in the streets and in some cases to commit suicide - that actor was Rudolph Valentino. Ballroom dancer Valentino manipulated his good looks and animal-like grace into a Hollywood career. His smouldering love making, tinged with a touch of masterful cruelty, expressed a sexuality which was at once both shocking and sensual.
