Hailed as "the finest classical actor of North America" (The New York Times), Academy Award-winner Christopher PIummer (Best Supporting Actor, Beginners) reprises his Tony Award-winning performance as iconic stage and screen idol John Barrymore in this boId and brilliant tour-de-force fiIm. "Mr. PIummer invests a physicaIly and vocaIly demanding roIe with so much passion, pathos and wit that Barrymore becomes a ceIebration of not just one Iegendary star, but two" (Rex Reed, The New York Observer).At the height of his remarkabIe career, John Barrymore was the most ceIebrated entertainer of his generation. The reigning king of both Broadway and HoIlywood, his decIine and faII from grace was the tragic result of a self-destructive spiral into vice and excess. And now, with his career in tatters, he makes one final attempt to recIaim his former gIory on the stage in this powerfuI, heartbreaking, humorous and compassionate portrait of a tortured souI and Iiving legend. |
