			Beyond the Rocks For years, nothing of Sam Wood’s 1922 romantic melodrama Beyond the Rocks was thought to have survived, beyond a one-minute fragment. In 2000, as the Dutch Film Museum started cataloguing vintage film prints, they found an amber-tinted nitrate positive print of the film with only two minutes damaged beyond repair. Four years later, this blazing melodrama, an example of Hollywood silent cinema at its artistic peak, looks brand new.  Based on the book by Elinor Glyn, the Barbara Cartland of the 20s, Beyond the Rocks is the tale of a young newlywed who falls for a man much younger than her husband while honeymooning in Europe. Beautifully crafted and visualized, Beyond the Rocks offers a chance to see two stars of uncommon magnitude—Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino—paired for the one and only time. 95 min.  USA, 1922  A Milestone Films Release Click here for New York Times festival coverage.
