Whenever I watch this film, I always rewind this part to see it twice.<br /><br />A woman once told me she has a crush on John Barrymore's hair in this film.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-26074950540399098382016-08-31T09:26:18.625-07:002016-08-31T09:26:18.625-07:00Some movies deserve a second chance and some movie...Some movies deserve a second chance and some movies need a second chance.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-88122498674885120462016-08-31T07:56:21.934-07:002016-08-31T07:56:21.934-07:00You've convinced me to re-watch this.

(The latter usually gets the nod because of her leading man, as you might well guess.)<br /><br />But there's no contest as to my favorite John Barrymore film; not only should he have been nominated for an Academy Award for <b>Century</b> but he should have been polishing that Oscar on his mantle as well.
