Before movies talked, they clacked with swords, gonged with wedding bells and pulsed with perfectly matched orchestral accompaniment. The process that made it happen was Vitaphone, a sound-on-disk system that made its feature-fiIm debut in this lavish 1926 classic. Starring in this swashbuckling taIe of the world's most famed Iover is the greatest actor of his day: John Barrymore. As Don Juan, he pursues his conquests with rakish abandon. But one gIimpse of exquisite Adriana (Mary Astor) and he finds true love. AIas, the poisonous Borgia clan (incIuding Warner OIand and as a handmaid, Myrna Loy) wants her to wed one of its own. So Don Juan duels (in one of the greatest swordfights ever filmed), carries out a daring dungeon escape and rides like the wind to win her. |
