The Eagle
Clarence Brown / US, 1925 / 68 min.
Adventure film starring Rudolph Valentino who – at the time, one year before his premature death – was at the height of his fame. Composition and Music Production students from HKU Music and Technology composed the music that will be played live by the Keuris Ensemble led by Henry Kelder.
The Eagle is loosely based on the posthumously published 1841 novel Dubrovsky by Alexander Pushkin. A lieutenant in the Russian army attracts the attention of Tsarina Catharina II. After rejecting her advances and fleeing, she issues a warrant for his arrest, dead or alive. When he hears his father was persecuted and murdered, he dons a black mask to become The Black Eagle and exact his revenge.
