Directed by Alan Crosland
John Barrymore plays the legendary lover who, taught by a murdered father to take everything from women and yield nothing, cuts a swath through Borgia Rome until he falls for Adriana della Varnese. Alan Crosland's 1926 Warner Bros. feature was the first to use Vitaphone for a synchronized musical score and sound effects—without spoken dialogue—turning Byron's legend into a lavish romantic adventure.
