Based on Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper. The title, reportedly, was changed in the belief that not enough of the moviegoing public is familiar with the story or its author. A more respectable reason would have been a desire to escape comparison with the book or the 1937 film version, both of which were, and are, a lot of fun. In this, all the fun is contained in the epilogue; until then, it's a pretty stiff, lifeless show, awash with golden color to give it an expensive look. Starring Mark Lester (whose gangling adolescent physique is difficult to reconcile with the angelic little boy he used to be), Oliver Reed, George C. Scott, Rex Harrison, and Charlton Heston; directed by Richard Fleischer. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
