The protagonist Douglas Fairbanks is very sunny, handsome, sexy, and acting a bit unruly. It is difficult to find the same type from today's male stars. If I insist on finding it, I can only say, "Pirates of the Caribbean" Johnny Depp is very similar to him.
Where is the heroine June Duprez? Oh! The classical temperament she possessed really fascinated me!

Please see the following episode in the film: "The heroine is inspired by God, and only the suitor who encounters a (designated) peach tree in the palace will eventually become her husband-in-law. The king of Mongolia, who was terrified by the protagonist (have obtained the above information), was about to come across this peach tree during the proposal to the heroine. A dear friend didn't get his wish. At this very moment, the actor was unexpectedly thrown into the peach tree by the white horse he was riding.
"Seriously, when I saw this, I laughed and fell together.
