Good Night Valentino
Director: Edoardo Ballerini
Country: USA
Year: 2002
Running Time: 15 minutes
Format: 35mm
Synopsis: In 1926 silent movie idol Rudolph Valentino was in
trouble. The press was attacking him mercilessly, calling him
a “pink powder puff” and blaming him for the “effeminization
of the American Man.” Valentino, his Italian blood boiling,
tried to salvage his reputation in the only way he knew how. He
challenged these tabloid writers to duels and fistfights to prove
his manhood. But the world only laughed. Finally, he calls on
famed journalist H.L. Mencken for advice. This is the story of
that infamous meeting between two very famous men, using Mencken’s
original essay about the encounter as voice-over atop a picture
that goes from a 1920’s style silent film to present day
“period piece” and back again.
