7/10
An eminently watchable and important historic film
2 October 2016
Worth the watch for no other reason than the fabulous cast; everyone who was, and ever was, a notable British stage actor is in this one. Besides the famous Claude Rains we are treated to the delights of Enrst Thesinger, Francis L. Sullivan and many more who never get the credit they deserve. The story is boring (being a silly romance between degenerate royals) and the costumes dubious, but the script of GB Shaw helps a lot. Obviously in competition with the Yanks for the coming fad of big screen, historical epics, the cinematography isn't bad either. But the real attraction is the cast; tune in and watch the great, glorious, fun acting of these film luminaries.
