The Prisoner Of Zenda - 1937 - 7/10

The King Of Ruritaria is kidnapped before his coronation.
By chance, a distant English cousin resembles him and is asked to impersonate before villains seize the crown.
Brisk moving adventure holds up strongly.
Mystery, some romance, the duplicity of relatives, dangers of drink.
The paraphrase the page turners, this is a thumping good romp.
A large chunk of the “British Colony” seems to be here.
Ronald Colman excellent in dual roles. Douglas Fairbanks Jr., however, is absolutely unforgettable as the charming rogue, Rupert Of Hentzau.
