DVD
The prince and the pauper / Warner Bros. Pictures ; written by Mark Twain ; directed by William Keighley.
The best-ever movie version of Mark Twain's classic Royal mix-up. Errol Flynn duels into action in Warner Bros.' spectacular, spirited film of Mark Twain's classic novel. Amid 16th-century England's pomp and poverty, two look-alike lads, one a beggar and one young Edward VI, exchange identities for a lark. But their switch backfires and it's up to soldier of Fortune Miles Hendon (Flynn) to turn the tables on a conspirator (Claude Rains) and return the correct lad to the throne. Flynn's rakish persona, William Keighley's brisk direction, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's score and the spry performances of twins Billy and Bobby Mauch helped many a film fan form an enchanted view of olde England. That view is just as rousing today. The Prince and the Pauper is regal all-family entertainment. - Container.
