Trama
Lo sapevi?
- QuizThe film was originally titled "The Black Eagle", but was changed when it was discovered that Douglas Fairbanks was producing the similarly-titled Il pirata nero (1926).
- BlooperThe story is set during the reign of Catherine the Great, who died in 1796, but the clothing styles are much closer to those worn in the early 19th century. And at one point Vladimir lights a candle with a friction match, which weren't invented until 1826.

Mascha Troekouroff: I think not. I don't associate with masked men as a rule.

Recensione in evidenza
Uneven, although still entertaining...
...mix of masked-hero action and romantic comedy from director Clarence Brown and based on a novel by Pushkin. Young Lt. Vladimir Doubrovsky (Rudolph Valentino) of the Russian Army is forced to go on the run after spurning the romantic advances of the Czarina (Louise Dresser). Once back in his home village, Doubrovsky learns that local baron Kyrilla (James Marcus) has been cheating the people out of their land, money and possessions, including Doubrovsky's own father, who died of despair at his losses. Doubrovsky vows revenge, and so adopts the guise of the Black Eagle, a Zorro-like masked bandit-hero who, along with his band of cohorts, makes life miserable for Kyrilla. However, when Kyrilla's beautiful daughter Mascha (Vilma Banky) comes home from abroad, Doubrovsky is smitten, and so he impersonates her new personal tutor to infiltrate Kyrilla's estate and to woo Mascha. Also featuring Albert Conti, George Nichols, Carrie Clark Ward, Gary Cooper as a masked extra, and Gustav von Seyffertitz.
Valentino is good here, although I wish there had been more action scenes with him as the Black Eagle. Dresser is fun as the lascivious Czarina. William Cameron Menzies provided the gorgeous production design, and director Brown dazzles with a "how'd they do that?" tracking shot over a sumptuous banquet table. My only real complaint would be that the movie can't seem to decide what it wants to be, and therefore sells both efforts a bit short. This was only my second Valentino film (after 1922's Blood and Sand), and it would prove to be his next-to-last film. It was a big hit for him after a run of disappointments, and signaled a big comeback which would be cut short after one more film and his death at age 31 in 1926.
