It may be that Tony Tanner's slant on the Don Juan legend is just that: he forgives the man for living his life the way he did, and for that reason chose the name Dispenso for his character. Maybe. Don Juan Dispenso is a contemporary look at the myth, in which Dispenso makes his way across Europe in the 20s and 30s bedding a variety of women who remained nothing more than conquests to him. In his mind, if he fell in love, he lost control. And he refused to lose control.
