The Private Life of Don Juan

What do women want? Don Juan is aging. He's arrived secretly in Seville after a 20 year absence. His wife Dolores, whom he hasn't lived with in five years, still loves him. He refuses to see her; he fears the life of a husband. She has bought his debts and will remand him to jail for two years if he won't come to her. Meanwhile, an impostor is climbing the balconies of Seville claiming to be Don Juan.

Reviews

CinemaSerf

Douglas Fairbanks' last film is hardly a triumph, but it is still quite an enjoyable tale that takes a slightly quirkier take on the life of the famous Lothario. A man in middle age, he still has success with the ladies - but his doctor is a little worried that his health is failing. Heaven forfend ...
