Ronald Coleman has good fun doubling up as both the dashing distant cousin and as the rather rakish King of Ruritania who faces intrigues and plots from a wonderful Raymond Massey and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. supported by a very young David Niven and the superbly loyal Sir C. Aubrey Smith. This is a great adventure story directed with skill and pace and it is a cracking watch.
