Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson missing movie found
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
Presumed lost, Beyond the Rocks, made in 1922, was discovered by the Nederlands Filmmuseum.
Film historians and archivists have been searching for 75 years for a print of Beyond the Rocks, a classic melodrama about an impossible love. All that remained of the film was a one-minute fragment.
It is the only film from the silent-film period (1895 - 1928) that stars the two Hollywood icons Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson.
The film is currently being restored and will be screened during the Filmmuseum Biennial in April 2005.

I read that Valentino's film was found among the private collection of a Dutch film collector who left behind 200 canisters of film?Have any other
lost silent films been found among them?Could we
find and restore more lost Theda Bara films,lost
Colleen Moore films,lost John Ford films, lost
Norma Talmadge films or lost Betty Bronson films?
I am hoping for more good news.

I am delighted that this long-lost Rudolph Valentino film is found.I hope it is soon transferred on safety stock and multiple backup copies are made.I hope this film becomes available on DVD and video soon.I also hope all
other lost Rudolph Valentino films are soon found.
I also hope that the only lost
Alfred Hitchcock film 'Mountain Eagle'(1923)is soon found.And I wish lost Clara Bow and Louise
Brooks' silent films will all be found in the U.S
or Europe.
It is very important to preserve silent films.
