1927 · US
Directed by Alan Crosland
John Barrymore as François Villon, 1927, United Artists: poet, thief, patriot, the beloved rogue of the title. Alan Crosland directed; Conrad Veidt is Louis XI. Barrymore in tights, already a profile, making a late silent out of a legend Hollywood would keep remaking. It is a costume picture that knows the costume is the star, and the star is a man who could fence and recite in the same shot.
