The Power of Stillness: John Barrymore’s Performance in Svengali
View through CrossRef
This essay examines the verbal and nonverbal characteristics of Barrymore’s performance as Svengali in the 1931 film of the same name. German Expressionism influences the art direction and the acting flourishes, but Barrymore’s performance controls and anchors the film. Svengali’s hypnotic manipulation of Trilby, and her singing and interaction with others, offers a fruitful area for analysis of performance’s relation to gender politics.
