If you have to ask, better record it . . .
COFFEEDAN'S FIRST RULE OF RECORDING MOVIES: If you have even a scintilla of interest in a film, always record it to watch later. If you like it, you've got a treasure you can watch again and again. If it's not to your liking, you can always tape over or pitch it (blank videocassettes and discs are ungodly cheap these days). Either way, you'll be the richer for having seen it.
In this particular instance, MORAN OF THE LADY LETTY is interesting for seeing how Paramount was trying to broaden Rudolph Valentino's appeal by casting him in a more masculine seafaring tale. Again, if you have even the slightest interest in Valentino, it's worth watching.
