The Great Profile of “The Great Profile”?

It’s John Barrymore night on TCM tonight, and his granddaughter Drew Barrymore was talking about him with Robert Osborne. And that made me wonder when Turner Classic Movies will make the definitive documentary about John Barrymore? They could call it: The Great Profile of “The Great Profile”. And now that they don’t have to think of an appropriate title (Sometimes half the effort of any book/play/film/artwork worth doing is thinking of the right title {if you do not already have one, that is…}.), maybe we’ll see it soon?

(“The Great Profile” was John Barrymore’s nickname in the 1920s and ‘30s.)
