It's a gorgeous Walt Disney's film . The movie is very amusing . The flick is set in London , 1537 , it deals about the Prince Edward VI , son of Henry VIII of England, who's replaced by a beggar and vice versa . As two boys resembling each other meet accidentally and exchange characters for a short while . A bit later on on , and after a lot of adventures they attempt to regain his rightful identity .
The film mingles comedy , adventure , humor , tongue-in-cheek and history . Originally running 150 minutes when premiered in three 50-minute episodes on the Disney television program in the US , this film was trimmed to 93 minutes for theatrical release in America and the European countries . The starring boy is excellent , both Prince Edward and the pauper Tom Canty are well played by Sean Scully , and Guy Williams (the Zorro) as the preceptor is sublime . The supporting roles are also splendidly : Nigel Greene , Geoffrey Keen , Jane Asher , Donald Huston , all of them are magnificent.
In the movie appears several historical characters , such as Catherine of Spain who married Henry VIII , Mary Tudor daughter from him , Elizabeth daughter of Ana Bolena and Lady Jane , everybody will be queens.
Direction by Don Chaffey is pretty good.
Rating 7/10
