Product Description

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 lookalike 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.

Sensational Blu-Ray edition of the Mark Twain classic. Billy and Bobby Mauch are absolutely terrific as the prince and the pauper. Add Errol Flynn and Claude Rains and you have a first rate classic. Warner Bros adds another 5 star plus to their gallery.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Prince and the Pauper
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2010

"The Prince and the Pauper" made in 1937 is grand entertainment
made in the old style when a good story, acting and entertainment
were the main considerations.

The stories by Mark Twain have made good subject material for
movies over the years and "The Prince and the Pauper" is no
exception.

The movie contains a wealth of character actors namely:
Errol Flynn as Miles Hendon
Claude Rains as Earl of Hertford
Henry Stephenson as Duke of Norfolk
Barton MacLane as John Canty
Billy Mauch as Tom Canty
Bobby Mauch as Prince Edward
Alan Hale as Captain of the Guards
Montagu Love as Henry VIII

The story begins when two boys are born on the same day in the
same year. One is Prince Edward the son of Henry VIII and the
other Tom Canty who was born in the slums of London.

By a strange twist of fate both meet when thay are young boys
and wanting to experience each others way of life they
exchange clothing. Both boys are identical in looks which
unfortunately is their undoing. Nobody believes them when they
try to tell the truth and return to their normal positions in
life.

The story is full of plotting and scheming by people in high
places who are anxious to remove the real prince from his
rightful position and replace him with the imposter who they
can manipulate to their own advantage.

Although the story is untrue it is told with sincerity to a
point where it is quite believeable.

The highlight of the movie is towards the end with an
elaborate, no expense spared coronation ceremony of the
young prince, nicely timed no doubt to coincide with the
coronation of George VI a week after its release.
Very impressive and no doubt replicating a real coronation.

Although he does not appear until half way through the movie,
Errol Flynn is in fine form, the identical twins Billy and
Bobby Mauch do a terrific job of acting and all are well
supported by good character actors.

Very entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Twain and the Movies Have Met
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2007
Verified Purchase
Mark Twain's witty and delightful blending of historical fact forms the basis for this rousing "trading places" adventure in medieval London.

This is a film where you can turn off the picture and just listen to Erich Wolgang Korngold's wall-to-wall score, where each scene has its own theme, as do the leading characters. Korngold envisioned his film scores as operas without words, where he pitched his music to that of the actor's voices, the melody varying in tone and tempo to reflect their feelings. The climatic Coronation sequence, featuring St. Luke's Choristers, from Long Beach, CA, is spectacular. This was one of the composer's favorite scores, which he later reworked into Violin Concerto in D. Op. 35. (The Itzhak Perlman Edition, EMI records Ltd 2003).

If this weren't enough, the period settings, costumes and mise-en-scene are incredibly detailed and richly textured. The once-in-a-lifetime cast, headed by Errol Flynn, the remarkable Mauch twins, Claude Rains and a host of familiar Warners character actors, is impeccable.

Even Shawn, Prince Edward's giant Irish wolfhound, is a scene-stealer.

William Keighley's direction is first-rate, as is Sol Polito's black and white cinematography, where each set-up enhances the drama of the moment. The term Black and White is clearly a misnomer... never more apparent than in viewing this film, with its shimmering silver halide crystals, which have never been more beautifully presented on the screen. The transfer to DVD is stunning and the sound track comes through loud and clear on my system.

Hardly just a kids' film, this is one for the ages with its dark themes of poverty, child abuse, political skulduggery and talk of beheadings. Rest assured that all's well that ends well, with Errol Flynn coming to the rescue in the nick of time!

In the words of the N. Y. Times in its original review: "The novel and the screen have been bridged so gracefully that we can not resist in saying that the Twain and the movies have met."

Aufwändig verfilmt und mit ganz eigenem Charme. Ich kenne diesen Film seit meiner Kindheit aus dem TV und war froh, ihn auf DVD zu finden. Leider wurde er durch nicht annähernd so prächtig ausgestattete Neuverfilmungen verdrängt. Ich sehe diesen hier aber sehr viel lieber und immer noch gerne!

Leider gibt es ihn nicht mit der deutschen Synchronfassung zu kaufen, obwohl diese ja existiert. Hoffentlich ändert sich das eines Tages.
