A disappointment, 16 September 1999
Author: Wayne119

Valentino is a pretty bad movie. Nureyev is great in the dance scenes, and as an actor he's somewhat better than I'd heard he was. The costumes and sets and the behavior of some of the characters evoke the 1920s, but the script lacks depth. The only reason I ordered this video is that Huntz Hall is in it--but it turns out he's in it maybe ten minutes and isn't given much to do.
