Having been made in 1937, this is a good movie with a lot of on screen history to watch. David Niven portrays Capt. Fritz Tarlenheim, and is superb. Ronald Colman plays two roles, those of Maj. Rudolf Rassendyll, and that of King Rudolf V. He did an excellent job. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was excellently cast in this part as was Raymond Massey. You will remember him as Abraham Lincoln. This is a typical story of good and evil, and how one man can change things if his heart is good. Madeleine Carroll portrays Princess Flavia. I would loved to have seen this one in color, I bet she was beautiful. Good movie. I give it a 6 out of a possible 10.
