Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character played by Rudolph Valentino was called "Ross Wilbur" in the novel by Frank Norris on which the film was based, but the name was changed to "Ramon Laredo" for the film to accommodate Valentino's non-American appearance.
- Crazy creditsExcept for Dorothy Dalton, whose name appears on the title frame, actors were not credited in this movie at the start or at the end. Instead, 7 additional actors and their character names are credited in the intertitles right before they appear onscreen and are listed in the same order in the IMDb cast. All other actors are marked uncredited.
- Alternate versionsIn 2006, Flicker Valley copyrighted a 68-minute version with a musical score by 'Robert Israel (II)'. The source material was from the Daniel J. Bursik collection. New intertitles were used, which may have changed some of the actors' names. In the New York Times review of 6 February, 1922, for example, Valentino's given name is listed as "Rodolf."

Featured review
Rudy gets Shanghaied
Rudolph Valentino's name would not for long be beneath another player's as it is in Moran Of The Lady Letty. Dorothy Dalton is first billed in this film which casts Rudy as a young playboy who gets Shanghaied aboard a modern day pirate ship skippered by Walter Long.
He's quite the pampered one Rudy is, but some experience with this crew and their evil skipper is enough to toughen anyone up. Later on sound successors to the Valentino image like Robert Taylor and Tyrone Power both of whom did sound remakes of Valentino roles were also deliberately given action material like this to broaden their appeal.
Even without sound Valentino's charisma comes through over 90 years after this film was released. Walter Long who played many a brutish, thuggish villainous role is at his best doing his thing in this film.
Moran Of The Lady Letty is a good introduction to the films of and the legend that was Rudolph Valentino.
