Rating: - The Prince and the Pauper
The Prince and the Pauper Great family classic. Wonderful story. One of my all time favorites. The only problem is the sound. Since it's an original and an oldie, the sound isn't so great. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars.

Errol Flynn strikes again! This 1937 film adaptation of Mark Twain's classic novel THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER is the definitive version, although Crossed Swords and Disney's own remake (with Guy Williams, in 1962) are pretty damn good themselves.

Errol Flynn was the ultimate swashbuckler, the most dashing hero that ever was, is, or will be. There are many imitations, but there has never been any who could truly match him, and I doubt will ever bee any who can even truly compare.
He made all the all the ladies dream and all the men wish they could be him (some admitted it, some did not, but they all did). However, that was not all he could do. There could be many better actors, but very few could make us dream as he did and does.

Errol Flynn is at his best in this movie. It is a testament to his acting ability in that he can play so many different roles.
