A 300-year-old f-boy gets roasted by his own servant for 90 minutes. Iconic.
Don Juan has betrayed and abandoned Donna Elvira, who loves him. Sganarelle, his servant, speaks his mind bluntly: "A great man and an evil man in one person is a terrible thing." TV adaptation of Molière's comedy from 1665.
Writing
Molière's dialogue still lands like a slap — Sganarelle's monologues are chef's kiss.
Acting
Moritzen's Don Juan is so smug you'll want to climb through the screen.
Director
Leon Feder
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Molière's original 1665 play scandalized Paris so badly it was canceled after 15 performances — the church called it impious, which honestly sounds like great marketing.
This 1973 TV adaptation leans into the servant Sganarelle's perspective, making it feel weirdly modern — like if your group chat got a camera crew.
