About The Conquering Power

Directed by Rex Ingram, The Conquering Power leans on a strong ensemble — Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Ralph Lewis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1921.
