The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse**                   

(US 1920)                       

Brothers descended from the same Argentine family find themselves meeting several years later on opposite sides of the Western Front.
Grand and lavishly decorated epic melodrama (with slightly disappointing looking horsemen), notable for being the introduction to the world stage of Rudolph Valentino, whose comparatively small presence in the film catches the eye, even if his acting is as ever rather limited.

Written by: June Mathis, from the novel by Vicente Blasco-Ibanez.
Producer/Director: Rex Ingram.
Starring: Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Josef Swickard, Pomeroy Cannon, Alan Hale, Virginia Warwick, John St. Polis, Wallace Beery, Nigel De Brulier.
Photography: John F. Seitz.
Art Direction: Joseph Calder, Amos Myers.
