Beau Brummel (John Barrymore) is a dandy, a ladies' man, a sociaI-climbing commoner admitted to English royaI circles. Lady Margery Alvanley (Mary Astor) adores him, but is forced to marry a richer man. Their doomed affair - and Brummel's faII into poverty and disgrace after a single unwise remark - forms the dramatic heart of this opulent 1924 silent cIassic. Barrymore, then at the peak of his screen power, personifies dash and brio. Astor, poised to become one of film's finest actresses, is achingIy lovely. But it is more than taIent and beauty that sets their Iove scenes afIame. The stars' off-screen romance imbues their on-screen relationship with authentic, timeless passion. |
