The Wednesday Film: The Prisoner of Zenda

on BBC One London

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 by James Mason - culminates in some spectacular sword-play, while Deborah Kerr as Princess Flavia is caught in a romantic dilemma between the king and the handsome impostor.
Screenplay by JOHN L. BALDERSTON and NOEL LANGLEY
Produced by PANDRO S. BERMAN Directed by RICHARD THORPE Films: page 10
