My sister and grandpa caught the second part of a silent film about Don Juan, in which two characters fought, both with a sword in each hand. They saw it on Turner Classic Movies on Monday night. Any ideas what it is? ---

According to [TCM’s monthly schedule](http://www.tcm.com/schedule/monthly.html) it was [Don Juan](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0016804/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4), starring John Barrymore. ---

Watched the first 15 minutes. Barrymore Sr. was at his wonderful evil best. I was watching to see the parts played by Hedda Hopper, Mary Astor and Myrna Loy. My love for 1930s movie stars demanded it. Alas, I didn’t stick around long enough. NCAA finals doncha know. ---

I love Myrna Loy! And a dual swordfight! (A dual duel?) Sounds like a great movie. ---

Two characters fought with a sword in each hand? Okay, Rey, that’s what’s going in the next movie!
