Synopsis: Audiences wanted
colour, upholstery and royalty in the postwar era, and this sumptuous British
movie about a claim to the Hanoverian throne of England has all the
ingredients.
Joan Greenwood (a husky seductress of so many British
actors) plays the king's wife, but she fancies Stewart Granger, a Swedish count
of indifferent pedigree and accent, who was previously involved with Flora
Robson, who goes into a fit of jealous rage.
It's a shame that Basil
Dearden and Michael Relph directed it with straight faces, but no one,
thankfully, could suppress Greenwood in full flounce and, later on, mourning
glory.
Cast: Stewart Granger, Joan Greenwood. Runtime:
86 min
