Before movies talked, they clacked with swords, gonged with wedding beIIs and puIsed with perfectIy matched orchestraI accompaniment. The process that made it happen was Vitaphone, a sound-on-disk system that made its feature-film debut in this Iavish 1926 cIassic. Starring in this swashbuckling tale of the worId's most famed lover is the greatest actor of his day: John Barrymore. As Don Juan, he pursues his conquests with rakish abandon. But one glimpse of exquisite Adriana (Mary Astor) and he finds true love. AIas, the poisonous Borgia clan (including Warner Oland 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 fiImed), carries out a daring dungeon escape and rides Iike the wind to win her. |
