Don Juan (1926) / Country: United States / Director: Alan Crosland / Length: 112 min. / Language: English / Entrance: FREE
We begin 2022 with films that just entered public domain, including Don Juan, an American film from 1926 directed by Alan Crosland.
Don Juan is the first feature-length film to utilize the Vitaphone sound-on-disc sound system with a synchronized musical score and sound effects, though it has no spoken dialogue. The film is inspired by Lord Byron's 1821 epic poem of the same name.
Don Juan stars John Barrymore as the hand-kissing womanizer. The film has the most kisses in film history, with Barrymore kissing (all together) Mary Astor and Estelle Taylor 127 times.
Kino ARMATA's public program is supported by Prishtina Municipality and Goethe Institut.
