Curiosidades

Cobra is a 1925 American silent romantic drama film directed by Joseph Henabery and starring Rudolph Valentino. Produced by Famous Players–Lasky/Ritz-Carlton Pictures and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film is based on the 1924 stage play Cobra by Martin Brown. Valentino portrays Count Rodrigo Torriani, an Italian aristocrat whose passion and impulsiveness entangle him in a scandalous love affair that ultimately leads to personal ruin. Released at the height of Valentino's fame, Cobra is noted for its sophisticated European setting and for showcasing the actor in one of his final romantic roles before his death in 1926.

Production

With his contract at Famous Players–Lasky fulfilled after the release of A Sainted Devil in 1924, Rudolph Valentino was released from the studio but remained contractually obligated to the Ritz-Carlton Pictures Corporation for four films. His next intended project was a personal passion project, The Hooded Falcon. Production on The Hooded Falcon quickly encountered difficulties, beginning with a screenplay by June Mathis.

While Rambova was occupied with costume designs and script revisions for The Hooded Falcon, Valentino was persuaded by J. D. Williams, head of Ritz-Carlton Pictures, to appear in Cobra opposite Nita Naldi in 1924. Valentino and Rambova agreed to the project on the condition that its release be delayed until after The Hooded Falcon premiered.
