Description

Interesting, comprehensive scene listing for the 1921 silent film The Sheik, directed by George Melford, starring Rudolph Valentino and Agnes Ayres, 30 pages, 8.5 x 14, documenting the movie's 690 scenes, 175 subtitles and spoken titles, and eight reels. The first page is stamped "Master File" and "1615" at the head. In very good condition, with the last page detached from the staple, and a tape repair to the upper left corner of the first page.

Released in 1921, The Sheik stars Rudolph Valentino in the role that cemented his status as a leading man and a cinematic heartthrob. The film, based on E.M. Hull's best-selling novel, is a romantic drama set in the exotic desert landscape where an Englishwoman is kidnapped by a dashing sheik. Valentino's charismatic performance and the film's sensual, adventurous storyline captivated audiences and made The Sheik a significant box office success of the silent film era.
