Although he had gained a following with his breakthrough role in
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
(1921) at MGM, that studio was not ready to give Rudolph Valentino full star treatment in billing and salary. So, with some fanfare, the former taxi dancer signed with the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation (Paramount Pictures). Valentino's first vehicle at his new studio,
The Sheik
(1921), became a huge hit, creating a sensation among female viewers.
Males in the audience, and much of the press, however, found his Latin Lover image to be effete and off-putting. Valentino's follow-up film, Moran of the Lady Letty (1922), a seafaring adventure in the mold of
Captains Courageous
, was an attempt to recast the star in a more forceful and masculine mold.
Valentino had worked with both Dalton and Long before. Dalton was the star of
The Homebreaker
(1919), in which Valentino had appeared as a dance extra; and Long also provided menace in
The Sheik
.
