I Am the Man is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Ivan Abramson and starring Lionel Barrymore, Seena Owen, and Gaston Glass.
[1][2][3] As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] James McQuade (Barrymore), the political boss of a large city, falls in love with Julia Calvert (Owen), who is engaged to Daniel Harrington (Glass).
James’ brother Robert (Faust) falls in love with Julia and his attentions become obnoxious.
Julia never becomes reconciled to her husband, and Robert finally instills into James’ mind the thought that she still loves Harrington.
James then takes poison and dies leaving a confession which reads: “I am the man.” Julia finds happiness with Harrington and Corinne marries her sweetheart Billy.
