Don Juan is a 1926 film directed by Alan Crosland.It is one of many adaptations of the original 17th century tale of Don Juan, the notorious lover. In this one the story starts with Don Juan as a boy. Juan's father Don Jose (John Barrymore) catches his wife Donna Isobel (Juan's mother) in the arms of a lover. Don Jose has the lover walled up in the castle, "Cask-of-Amontillado" style, and throws his wife out. Later Don Jose is murdered by a jealous lover, and with his dying words tells his son to take pleasure from women, but never to give them love.Cut forward to Don Juan as an adult (also played by John Barrymore), who has taken his father's advice, and is so busy as a seducer of women that sometimes he has to keep hourly schedules. It's the late 15th century, and The Borgias rule in Rome. Lucrezia Borgia sets her sights on Don Juan as a conquest—but Don Juan may be finally falling in love, with Adriana della Varnese (Mary Astor in one of her first starring roles), daughter of a house that rivals the Borgias.Myrna Loy has a bit part as a Borgia lady-in-waiting. This film is famous for being the first ever feature film to be played with a synchronized soundtrack. That soundtrack was only sound effects and a score by the New York Philharmonic, but the success of the Vitaphone soundtrack system encouraged Warner Brothers to push on with songs and spoken dialogue in 1927's The Jazz Singer.

Right Behind Me

comment
Right Behind Me: Don Juan has gotten rid of three different women by telling them Duke Margoni is on the way—Margoni is husband to one, uncle to another, and an "admirer" of the third. He then starts joking about how Margoni is "a pompous old ass", only to find a pissed-off Duke Margoni right behind him.

Too Important to Walk: A random moment has one of Don Juan's girlfriends brought to his house in a litter. and if that isn't enough to mark her out as important, she's also named "Imperia."

The Casanova: In one scene Don Juan has three different women milling around his apartment, all wanting his attention. He gets a letter from another lover, telling him her husband is out of town, and enclosing a ring, which he puts in a box full of rings.

Little People Are Surreal: For no real reason, the servant at the mansion who tells Don Jose about Isobel's infidelity is played by a dwarf. A title card muses about "Souls curiously warped with hate."
