John Barrymore stars with Mary Astor and Myrna Loy as one of the greatest romantic heroes ever--Don Juan.Don Jose de Marana, popularly known as don Juan (Barrymore--Dinner at Eight) was raised to be--and has carried on in his father's footsteps--as a rake, a man who wins women's hearts, then leaves them broken and alone. But a woman he starts out to court, conquer and desert instead tames his heart. Based on the poem by Lord Byron.
