While researching a paper on erotic literature I found many references to Don Juan. This movie, though in black and white and silent did a good job portraying the man who learned disdain for women from his father. The music matched the moods and John Barrymore sure could scowl. The women were quite seductive, but being a movie from the 20's there is nothing graphic about the trysts Don Juan had with the culpable women. The side story of the evil Borgias added to the movie- with its lessons on right and wrong. His salvation in the end comes from meeting a woman who can't be corrupted.
