Plot: A young English girl marries a millionaire but falls in love with
a dashing nobleman on her honeymoon.
Valentino and Swanson and a script by Elinor Glyn! Paramount knew they had
a hit on their hands with this one. Swanson was already good friends with
Rudolph Valentino (but only friends), who was the matinee idol of
the time. Director Sam Wood used his experience with De Mille and infused
the story with several "flashback" episodes so that the characters
could be resplendent in period costumes.
Beyond The Rocks is a notable lost film. Silent film fan enthusiasts keep hoping that a print will surface somewhere but so far we can only look at the stills from the film and imagine what it was like.
