00:23To the plaudits of the world still resounding for such brilliant triumphs as Anthony Adverse
00:28and the story of Louis Pasteur, Warner Brothers are again prepared to delight Dieter Gores
00:32with a spectacular production of Mark Twain's immortal story of adventure and romance,
00:37The Prince and the Pauple, studded with scenes of towering magnificence,
00:41ringing with a clash of steel on steel, seething with the intrigues of the court of King Henry VIII.
00:46It is truly colorful, exciting, fascinating entertainment every minute of the way.
00:56Would you sit in the presence of your King?
00:58Now see here, my lad.
00:59I will not over-tolerate your matter.
01:04I ask your pardon, Your Majesty, but after that chase we led them, it would be good to sit down.
01:10Perhaps.
01:13No.
01:14Custom must be preserved.
01:16You will stand.
01:17You will stand.
01:31Why, you look like me.
01:33On the contrary, you look like me.
01:37That's what I said, Your Highness.
01:38We look alike.
01:43After I'm gone, Edward,
01:46you'll wear the crown.
01:47And remember, there is only one crown, but there are many heads it will fit.
01:53So a wise king removes those heads.
01:57Never love so much, trust so much, or need anyone so much,
02:04that you can't betray them with a smile.
02:27I have a skin I'd like to trade you in exchange for a little information.
02:31A skin, eh?
02:32And a man or a sable?
02:34Neither.
02:34You see, the skin happens to be yours.
02:36And if you want a sable, you better tell me who that man was who dragged the beggar boy off.
02:40Quick.
02:40I don't know.
02:41I swear I don't.
02:42No?
02:42Too bad.
02:44Wait.
02:45Then you know who I am?
02:47Yes.
02:48When can I go home?
02:49Never.
02:50Never?
02:51But if I'm not the king, then...
02:53You are the king.
02:54The only way to lose the crown now is to lose your head with it.
02:59What would you suggest doing with this one, sir?
03:01He seems capable of digesting about 20 lashes.
03:05Thank you, Captain.
03:06And when next we meet, I trust you'll be equally capable of digesting about 20 inches of steel.
