Stars of the Silent Screen: John Barrymore in Don Juan

on BBC Two England

A classic 1926 adventure film, presented with its original 'Vitaphone' orchestral soundtrack.
Weary of the treachery of his wife and mistress, the dying Don Jose advises his son Juan to take all from women and yield nothing. John Barrymore plays the notorious Don who, ten years on, becomes involved in the poisonous politics of the Borgias and proves he is a faithful, as well as successful, lover of women.
