Valentino in The Young Rajah, 1922



The Young Rajah was one of Valentino's less successful films.  It is probably best remembered today for the elaborate and exotic costumes designed by his wife, Natacha Rambova, several of which - to the delight of his mostly female public - displayed quite a bit of the actor's person.

The film was considered lost, but in 2005 an edition was assembled incorporating surviving footage.
