The Private Life of Don Juan - 1934 Douglas Fairbanks

1934 British comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Douglas Fairbanks, Merle Oberon and Benita Hume. At the age of 51, it was the final role of Fairbanks, who died five years later. The film is about the life of the aging Don Juan, based on the 1920 play L'homme à la Rose ["The Man With the Rose"] by Henry Bataille. It was made by Korda's London Film Productions at British & Dominion Studios in Elstree/Borehamwood and distributed by United Artists.

After twenty years in exile, an aging Don Juan returns to his old stomping ground of Seville along with his friend Leporello, who’s desperately trying to keep Don Juan healthy. His wife, whom he’s neglected for years, wants to have him thrown in jail, ostensibly for non-performance of husbandly duties. At the same time, a young imposter named Roderigo is strutting about pretending to be the Don, but playing with fire can get you burned, and so it is that Rodrigo is “offed” by an irate husband. Complications ensue…
