Remastered from a rare, surviving tinted print, with a new piano score by Serge Bromberg, EYES OF YOUTH represents a breakout role for Rudolph Valentino.

In one vision, after a brutal encounter with an aggressive playboy – portrayed by Valentino – Gina learns that ambition and money do not lead to happiness.
