Item Number: S-BTR-18
|
Vintage original 8 x 10 in. (20.3 x 25.4 cm.) U.S. single-weight gelatin silver glossy still photograph (NN: 430-2/5), very fine- condition.
Beyond the Rocks was the only screen pairing of silent film legends Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino. The image depicts a rare on-set publicity shot of Valentino with "Madame" Eleanor Glynn, who wrote the novel upon which this film was based. Valentino looks handsome in a tuxedo and Madame Glynn is wearing an elegant dress with a string of pearls and a veiled hat. She is handing Valentino her ornately carved cigarette holder as he bows to accept it from her. Behind Valentino is the 35mm Bell & Howell motion picture camera which was used to photograph this film. This vintage original still photograph is in very fine- condition with a small surface blemish below the cuff of Valentino's left wrist. Rare.
Beyond the Rocks was considered a lost film save for a one minute portion, for the better part of the twentieth century until a print was found in the Netherlands in 2003. The film was restored by the Nederlands Filmmuseum and the Haghefilm Conservation. It turned up among about two thousand rusty film canisters donated by an eccentric Dutch collector, Joop van Liempd, of Haarlem. It was given its first modern screening in 2005 and the restored version was released on DVD in 2006.
