7/10
good adaptation of classic
20 September 2022
It's 1537 London. A prince is born to the King and a boy is born in the slums. The two boys would later meet. They recognize their similarity and decide to exchange identities to experience each other's life. After the King's death, the pauper becomes the new King. The Earl of Hertford (Claude Rains) knows the switch and bullies the new King into becoming his puppet. Miles Hendon (Errol Flynn) protects the real prince from dangers.

Billy Mauch and Robert J. Mauch are twins playing the prince and the pauper. I've never heard of them before. They seem to be good child stars and they play the two different roles very well. I like both performances. It's a classic tale and this is a fine telling.
