BEVERLY OF GRAUSTARK is little more than cinematic cotton candy, but what a confection it is! Marion Davies is hilarious as the American woman thrust into European intrigue when she has to impersonate her male cousin who just happens to be royalty. Her mission is complicated by her feelings for hunky bodyguard Antonio Moreno. Throw in Roy D'Arcy as a delightful mustache-twirling villain and you've got a great cast.
Sidney Franklin directs and gives the movie real energy. The settings are glamorous and the movie ends with a stunning Technicolor ball. It's the kind of escapism Hollywood once made it's stock in trade and it's one of Davies' best vehicles from her heyday.
