the prince and the pauper

May 22 movie: The Prince and the Pauper. This was fun, not the greatest movie ever but fun. I vaguely remember the book having more biting social satire, but the movie is fairly treacly. Still, it has Errol Flynn, Claude Rains (in an absolutely horrendous hairdo) and Alan Hale! Alas, Hale is a bad guy. He plays the captain of the guard, who Rains blackmails into finding and killing the real prince. He gets offed by Flynn before he can do the dastardly deed.
