Reviews

France released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), French ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: A poor commoner and a young prince each find out how the other half lives in this adventure story based on the classic tale by Mark Twain. Tom Canty (Mark Lester) is a young man from a laboring family who bears a striking resemblance to Prince Edward (also played by Lester), the son of King Henry VIII (Charlton Heston) and heir to his throne. Tom and Edward meet by chance, and they decide to exchange places briefly as a lark; Edward will get to live as an ordinary boy, and Tom will be able to enjoy the perks of royalty. But the two are separated before they can let everyone in on the joke, and Tom discovers as he pretends to be Price Edward that the castle is awash in corruption. Originally released as Crossed Swords, The Prince and the Pauper also features Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, George C. Scott, and Rex Harrison. ...The Prince and the Pauper ( Crossed Swords )

3.0 out of 5 stars Crossed Swords dvd 24 Dec 2009
By Mozzy
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great film, in fact almost one of the "classics".I say almost because Mark Lesters acting is a little wooden and he is too old for the part (echoed in other reviews).Appart from that i enjoyed the film very much.Not many movies deserve 5 stars, though i would have given it 4/5 if it wasn"t for my earlier criticisms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very good, so why has no one given a review yet? 28 Feb 2008

Watched this many years ago when it first came out on tape. It's been in the collection since, and I think much underrated. Probably the title, as many don't think of this as "The Prince and the Pauper." Great cast, script, scenes, everything is absolutely topnotch in this effort to create cinema on Mark Twain's first attempt at a fictional "historical novel." You'll enjoy it if you've not yet seen it.

Nifty flick on the famous Twain twin saga. Just watched this again and realized how professional and well-thought-out it really is. Oliver Reed is great as Miles Hendon, soldier of fortune, with Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison also throwing their weight around. Good fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best version of Prince and the Pauper 9 April 2008
By book lover - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I would recommend it for adults because the vocabulary and content may be too difficult for younger viewers. Very true to book adaptation of Twain's novel - Mark Lester was excellent.
