Charming and lovely!!, 1 August 2000
10/10

What a grand movie for Douglas Fairbanks to end his acting career with! Although he was indeed 52 and his marriage to Mary Pickford (which, at the time of its beginning had been met with the approbation of the entire country) was ending in separation and divorce, Doug convincingly plays the famous but aging lover Don Juan de la Manara in this witty and captivating picture. Merle Oberon is radiantly beautiful as the dancer Antonita, one of the many love interests of Don Juan. Doug is still charming even at age 52 in Alexander Korda's brilliant film. The opening scene, with the many women clamoring to their balconies for a sight of Don Juan while John Brownlee sings the beautiful Don Juan serenade in the background, is a real classic. A delightful picture!
