Eyes of Youth (1919) is a silent film directed by Albert Parker and starring Clara Kimball Young. The film was based on a stage play Eyes of Youth performed on Broadway in 1917-18 and had starred Marjorie Rambeau. This film also featured actor named Rudolph Valentino in a role as a thief/con artist. The story was remade as The Love of Sunya (1927) starring Gloria Swanson and with Al Parker once again doing directing honors.[1] [2]
This film is often credited for giving Valentino the role that led to him being cast in The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (1921). Eyes of Youth is often revived on home video and DVD.
