Specialty DVD Supplier Flicker Alley Unveils
"THE VALENTINO COLLECTION"

Rudolph Valentino Rarities Make Their 2-Disc Home Video Premiere September 18, Following Valentino Commemorative Event August 18

(Los Angeles, CA) Flicker Alley, LLC, a specialty supplier of fine silent films and classic cinema programming, today announced that the company will release "THE VALENTINO COLLECTION" on DVD September 18, 2007. The 2-disc DVD edition is poised to become the definitive career overview of one of the silent screen's greatest stars and follows the Rudolph Valentino commemorative event on August 18th, co-curated by historian Tracy Ryan Terhune and sponsored by Hollywood Heritage.

As one of the most iconic personalities of the silent film era, Rudolph Valentino achieved an unprecedented level of fame that was due in part to his exotic good looks and a magnetic personality which leapt from the screen. His undeniable cultural resonance, coupled with his untimely death in August of 1926, has made him a recognizable and still-relevant figure throughout the world.

"THE VALENTINO COL-LECTION" is the definitive Rudolph Valentino DVD compilation containing digital reconstructions and DVD premieres of four unavailable Rudolph Valentino films--the "lost" Valentino production The Young Rajah (1922) and Stolen Moments (1920), fea-turing new musical scores by Jon Mirsalis; A Society Sensation (1918), featuring Bob Mitchell at the pipe organ; and Moran of the Lady Letty (1922), featuring a restoration of the film's original intertitle text and tinting and a new score by Robert Israel.

Three of the four digital reconstructions found on Flicker Alley's DVD release of "THE VALENTINO COLLECTION" were originally produced in partnership with Turner Classic Movies and The Library of Moving Images, and first broadcast on Turner Classic Movies in 2006. The DVD collection boasts an extensive selection of bonus features detailing several aspects of Valentino's remarkable life and legacy, sure to fascinate film fans and scholars alike. The DVD carries a $39.98 suggested retail price.
