The John Barrymore Collection

Film Description

Credited as one of the greatest actors of his generation, John Barrymore handled the transition between stage, silent film and 'talkies' with ease. This collection demonstrates his versatility with three of Barrymore's greatest roles; in THE BELOVED ROGUE (1927), ornate sets and costumes add to the majestic story of the French poet Francois Villon, DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1920) is the classic tale of a man whose experiments bring out the dark side of his psyche, and in SVENGALI (1931), Barrymore reprises the stage role of the masterful and menacing hypnotist, that garnered him critical acclaim.
