The Prince and the Pauper
Directed by Richard Fleischer
Produced by International Film Productions
A spirited period adventure built on mistaken identity and class contrast, where two boys discover each other's worlds through a playful swap that becomes a genuine test of character.
Tom Canty is a poor English boy who bears a remarkable resemblance to Edward, Prince of Wales and son of King Henry VIII. The two boys meet and decide to play a joke on the court by dressing in each other's clothes, but the plan goes awry when they're separated and each must live the other's life.
