    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The emphatic remarks at the beginning about the need for a crown prince to abandon a life of frivolity and settle down and be serious clearly allude to the Abdication Crisis in Great Britain, which was happening at that time.
    • Goofs
      The colonel tells the prince that "His Majesty, your father" wants to see him. One term would be used in formal discourse, the other in informal, so they would never be used together. There is no need to add "your father" to clarify who is being referred to, as only the king is called "Majesty."

    • Alternate versions
      According to the AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1931-1940, there was a version that included Virginia Weidler and David Holt playing the two lead characters as children at the start of the film, according to contemporary reviews. But that was not in this print nor in the cutting continuity submitted for copyright.

    bizarre to say the least!

    At first sight this MGM oddity looks like a typical over-the-top 30s effort, but I found it growing on me (despite the ever-increasing number of loose ends - why? what? how?). If you can accept Montgomery and Russell as 18th century foreign Royals who blend perfectly in a Britain even more nutty than it's usually depicted, then this is quite an enjoyable and unusually imaginative slice of early Hollywood.
