Beau Brummel (1924)

Clyde Fitch’s play, written for the great stage actor Richard Mansfield, is a very romantic interpretation of incidents in the life of George (Beau) Brummel, the Regency dandy whose name has become a watchword for sartorial splendour and correctness, and is itself freely adapted for this film, which showcases the unparallelled talent of John Barrymore in his prime, as Brummel.

Cast: John Barrymore, Mary Astor
