ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         The validity of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in
connection with this Registration Statement will be passed upon by Wade H.
Nichols III, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as well as the Amended and
Restated By-Laws of the Company filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto (the "Amended and
Restated By-Laws"), as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the
directors and officers of the Company. This description is intended only as a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the
Amended and Restated By-Laws which are incorporated herein by reference.

         Article X of the Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that the
Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in general,
that each director and officer may be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any
threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which he is involved by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer if he acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful. If the legal proceeding, however, is by or in the right of the
Company, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company
unless a court determines otherwise.


                                   3

         Furthermore, Article Fifth of the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to
the Company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Section 102 of the DGCL permits a Company's certificate of
incorporation to contain these provisions. In addition, Article X, Section 8
of the Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that the Company may purchase
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the
Company, or who is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
entity or enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the
obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the
provisions of Article X of the Amended and Restated By-Laws.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

                  10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of the Company).

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.


                                       5





    
<PAGE>



     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Board of Directors
Revlon, Inc.

New York, New York 10022

Dear Sirs:

                  I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Revlon,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and have acted as counsel to the
Company in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), of 5,000,000 additional shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common
Stock"), to be issued pursuant to or reserved for issuance under the Revlon,
Inc. 1996 Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan").

                  This opinion is delivered in accordance with the
requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulations S-K under the Securities Act.

                  In connection with this opinion, I have examined and am
familiar with originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of (i) the Stock Plan; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company, in each
case as amended to the date hereof; (iii) certain resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company relating to the adoption of the Stock Plan and the
issuance of the Class A Common Stock; (iv) the resolution by the shareholder
of the Company approving the Stock Plan; (v) a specimen certificate evidencing
the Class A Common Stock; and (vi) such other documents as I have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below.

                  In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to the
opinion expressed herein which were not independently established or verified,
I have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers
and other representatives of the Company and others.

                  I am admitted to the Bar in the state of New York and I do
not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

                  Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am of the
opinion that the Company has the full power and authority under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and under its Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended, to
issue the Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Plan, and
that such shares of Class A Common Stock are validly authorized shares of
Class A Common Stock, and when issued and paid for, will be legally issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

                  I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me in Item 5, Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel, of the Registration Statement.


                                                     Very truly yours,
