Summary:
"Hailed as 'the finest classical actor of North America' (The New York Times), Academy Award-winner Christopher Plummer (Best Supporting Actor, Beginners) reprises his Tony Award-winning performance as iconic stage and screen idol John
Barrymore
in this bold and brilliant tour-de-force film. 'Mr. Plummer invests a physically and vocally demanding role with so much passion, pathos and wit that
Barrymore
becomes a celebration of not just one legendary star, but two' (Rex Reed, The New York Observer). At the height of his remarkable career, John
Barrymore
was the most celebrated entertainer of his generation. The reigning king of both Broadway and Hollywood, his decline and fall from grace was the tragic result of a self-destructive spiral into vice and excess. And now, with his career in tatters, he makes one final attempt to reclaim his former glory on the stage in this powerful, heartbreaking, humorous and compassionate portrait of a tortured soul and living legend."--Container.
