Valentino
New York, NY: Trident Press, 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. "Beginning with (Rudolph) Valentino's funeral, an extravaganza which turned New York City into an utter bedlam and was staged by the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Church with a splendor hitherto unrivaled by even Hollywood, Irving Shulman traces, with wry humor and a sociologist's abiding interest in strange tribal customs, the creation of the myth of the Great Lover."
