New from Warner Archive is the Blu-Ray mastered from Photoplay Productions gorgeous 1993 photochemical restoration of Rex Ingram’s compelling 1921 smash. Speaking of gorgeous, there’s little wonder why this film made a star out of Valentino. And wow can this boy tango

Warner Archive went back to the best existing elements for this 50th anniversary remastered Blu-Ray of Jack Haley Jr’s Valentine to the glorious MGM musicals. It’s hard to describe the impact this doc had on me. It was near impossible to see vintage musicals on the big screen
