How do you go from amazingly sweet and lovable to hated so easily? Barrymore had great talent. It is too bad his most memorable film paints him as the bad guy.

He seems to always play a rich older man with ill will toward someone.

He's sweet in this one. He plays a role I like to associate with him.

He's in The New York Hat and if I remember correctly, not very nice to Mary Pickford in it.

I don't know why he got the Oscar; I didn't think he was completely amazing as the drunk father, but the movie is good.

Lionel plays Andrew Jackson, a stubborn, commanding man who has a sweet and likable side as well.

Barrymore plays a rigid, competitive sea captain in this film.

He is the father once again, a wise man who really takes his children under his wing. Later, this role would be taken by Lewis Stone in the Andy Hardy series.

He plays a pirate here in an important but small role. I never thought I'd see him play a pirate, but he does it!

He has a small part as the mentor of Clark Gable's character. The part was probably catered to his arthritis, so for most of the film he is sitting in a car, giving orders.
