Starring Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr, James Mason
with Louis Calhern, Jane Greer, Lewis Stone, Robert Douglas
Stewart Granger plays a dual role in this the third version of Anthony Hope's famous story about an Englishman whose striking resemblance to Ruritania's ruler involves him in a plot against the throne.
A game of cat-and-mouse with the usurper of the throne Rupert of Hentzau-played with relish by James Mason - culminates in some spectacular swordplay.
