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.
