6/10

surely some cinematic value

The nation of Florestan is struggling after Prince Basil overthrew his cousin Prince Henry (J. Harold Murray). Prince Henry decides to return from exile in Paris to retake his throne. He is traveling in disguise as the driver to a playboy who is in reality his manservant. Anita (Bernice Claire) is the flame.

This started as an operetta in 1925 turned into a film in 1930 and remade into this movie in 1934. The music was originally written by Herbert Stothart and George Gershwin, the lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto A. Harbach. For this movie, they moved it out of Czarist Russia and created a fictional land. Since the 1930 version seems to be lost, this is an interesting artifact. I'm not a film historian or music historian. This must have some historical values. I'm just not sure if it's any good. The story is simplistic and short. The musical is a short opera which may be popular back in the day. It's not for me, but it may be for somebody.
