Full Plot Details

In 1432, while François Villon is still an infant, his father dies as a martyr to his devotion to France. François grows up to be a renowned poet, an ardent patriot, and a notorious carouser who is not above criminal acts. During the revels of All Fools Day, he insults Duke Charles of Burgundy, for which King Louis XI, who is afraid of Charles, banishes Villon from Paris. In exile outside the city walls, François looks for ways to protect France from Burgundy's plots. When Charles plans to have one of his associates marry the king's ward Charlotte, Villon successfully disrupts the engagement, but for so doing is sentenced to death. But Villon finds a way to exploit Louis's superstitious nature long enough to give him another chance to serve France, while at the same time seeking the hand of Charlotte.

Seanax.com - 10/10 by Sean Axmaker[Barrymore] throws himself into the swashbuckling scenes, leaping across roofs less like an action hero than a child of the streets who hasn't quite grown up...
User Review - 10/10 by Sara KA fun silent movie about the life and antics of French poet Francois Villon. This was one of several roles John Barrymore was born to play.
User Review - 8/10 by James HA truly great classic film, John Barrymore's presence makes this film amazing. I know a lot of people won't go near a silent film, but I truly enjoy them and feel I am watching a slice of history, making the films that much more fascinating. This is an exciting film, great pace with romance and comedy thrown in. Awesome.
User Review - 8/10 by Orlok WViva Villon: The Adventures of a Vagabond Lover--An Entertaining Feature With Excellent roles for Barrymore & veidt!!
User Review - 8/10 by Nia EBrilliant film! Even though I watched this (silent!) movie without music, it's still really funny, really exciting and really good fun! Barrymore is wonderful, as is (of course) Conrad Veidt. Even the heroine is awesome! Would definitely watch this again.
User Review - 6/10 by Joel AA charming lesser grand John Barrymore film that you find is hard not to like although it is a 'little' fluffy. The story of French poet, playboy & socialite and all of his misadventures. The film is predictable but that doesn't disregard it's entertainment value. Filled with some great one liners, classic romance & a few sword duels...it's not as strong as When a Man Loves but still an enjoyable film.
User Review - 6/10 by Byron BGreat showcase for the 'Great Profile', John Barrymore, taking a page from rival Douglas Fairbanks in his swashbuckling portrayal of 15th Century poet Francois Villon. Pretty impressive production for its time. Conrad Veidt (Casablanca's Major Strasser) makes a creepy turn as Louis XI of France - looks a lot like his Casare character from Caligari.
User Review - 6/10 by Matthew CJohn Barrymore and Conrad Veidt star in this well made, fun silent feature. Plenty of crazy stunts and beautiful sets make it fairly thrilling. And the story has a few interesting twists. It's not amazing. But it is pretty good.
