Don Juan (1926)
La acción se desarrolla en Roma, en la época de los Borgia, Lucrecia (Estelle Taylor), César (Warner Orland), y el Conde Donati (Montagu Love). Don Juan (John Barrymore), a quién su padre Don José (también John Barrymore) enseñó que las mujeres sólo traen tres cosas: vida, desilusión y muerte, tiene múltiples romances a sus espaldas, pero vive obsesionado con la única mujer que nunca pudo tener, Doña Isabel (Jane Winton). Ella y él sufrirán la ira de Lucrecia, despechada por ser ignorada por Don Juan, así como por matar este al conde Donati en un duelo... Destaca por ser la primera película de la historia con una banda sonora completa y efectos de sonido sincronizados, al ser el primer largometraje de la Warner Bros que utilizó el sistema de sonido Vitaphone. Sin embargo, en esencia, y al margen de estos detalles técnicos, se concibió y produjo como una película muda, sin ningún diálogo sonoro, siendo todos los diálogos a base de intertítulos al igual que en el cine mudo.
