In 1882, Mark Twain published a delightful fairy tale "for young people of all ages"; 45 years later, Warner Bros.,
inspired by the real-life coronation of Edward VII, created a lavish screen version starring radio favorites Billy and
Bobby Mauch in the title roles and Errol Flynn as their dashing savior. As Jane Seymour (Helen Valkis), consort of
King Henry VIII (Montagu Love), gives birth to the heir to the throne, the later Edward VI (Bobby Mauch),
Tom Canty (Billy Mauch) is born in the nearby slums. Years later, as King Henry is near death, providence brings
the two together and they discover that they share a striking resemblance. Having changed clothes with Tom
during play, Edward Tudor is mistaken for a pauper by the Captain of the Guard (Alan Hale) and evicted from
the palace. In contrast, Tom is believed to be the Prince of Wales by all of sundry and, when protesting, is treated
as mentally unsound. Only the Earl of Hertford (Claude Rains), the king's scheming advisor, realizes the truth
but keeps quiet to further his own career. With a price on his head, the real Edward lives the life of a pauper
among the thieves and beggars of London, befriended only by Miles Hendon (Flynn), whom he, to Miles' great
amusement, creates an earl. But despite his skepticism, Miles is right there to rescue Edward from the murderous
Captain of the Guard and return him to the palace just as Tom is about to be crowned king. Proving his true identity
by locating the missing Seal of England, Edward is restored to the throne and Hertford is banished from the realm.
Miles is recognized for his bravery and Tom is made a ward of the king for life.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER
Complete Original Score
Rich ... complex ... difficult ... demanding ... impossibly fast ... and fun. These are but a few of the
descriptions attributed to the film music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
So it is with Tribute Film Classics' impeccable new rerecording of Korngold's music for
The Prince and the Pauper, the 1937 Warner Bros. version of Mark Twain's endearing tale of
mistaken identity and court intrigue starring Errol Flynn. "Korngold's score is reminiscent of music
for a commedia dell'arte; it is sparkling, humorous, and heartwarming, capturing all the naivet� of
childhood, the regal splendor of the court, and the demeaning poverty of Tudor England," says the
composer's son, George Korngold.
Korngold's signature talents are in full evidence in this score: elaborate percussion, joyous
trumpets, plaintive French horns, ethereal strings, angelic harps, playful piccolos, rollicking
piano. All come together in this full-bodied work that encompasses royal pageantry, wry humor,
heartrending tenderness, and, of course, the exuberantly dizzying action scoring for which
Korngold is well known.
Played by the
Moscow Symphony Orchestra
