Twentieth Century

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Twentieth Century is the insane, slightly over the top character Oscar Jaffe, played by John Barrymore.  I thought his face was going to fall off his facial expressions were so exaggerated.  The story is that he is a successful Broadway director working with a wannabe new actress named Lily Garland.  As time goes on she becomes a star to the point she wants to leave and grow further as a movie actress.  Realizing his shows are nothing without her, he follows her on the Twentieth Century train where the rest of the film takes place.  There are a good amount of laughs throughout the film and Barrymore's performance is worth watching.
