This was Douglas Fairbanks' last movie and in many ways, it is a good end to his film career. He made a career out of playing several adventurous characters like Robin Hood. So it's not far to see him play a role like a lover like Don Juan. However, this Don Juan is nothing to brag about. He doesn't have the strength to be a lover like the one before. Even an impostor starts stealing the ladies but Don Juan has nothing on him since he's more believable and better at flirting with the women at this point. Don Juan tries to convince people he still has it but no one believes it so he realizes he has to settle down. This was probably echoing Fairbanks' film career at this point so the film was well cast. Still, I prefer to think of Fairbanks in his prime as the swashbuckling actor that played in movies like The Three Musketeers.
