Eyes of Youth is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Albert Parker and starring Clara Kimball Young. The film was based on a stage play Eyes of Youth performed on Broadway in 1917-18 and starred Marjorie Rambeau. This film also features Rudolph Valentino in a role as a thief/con artist.
This film is often credited as the vehicle that led Valentino to be cast in The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (1921).
The story was remade as The Love of Sunya (1927) starring Gloria Swanson and with Albert Parker once again directing.
On April 12, 2012, Eyes of Youth was released on Region 1 DVD by Alpha Home Entertainment
