Audience Member good action/adventure yarn Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Death shall not be a burden to the living. A young prince has a supporting princess wife to be and they plan to rule their kingdom and rule it well; however, an associate betrays them and helps an invader trying to take over the kingdom. The prince and princess will need to strategize a plan to overcome impossible odds if they hope to save themselves and their people. "I was thinking." "Good. Practice makes perfect." Henry King, director of Twelve O'clock High, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, The Song of Bernadette, Carousel, The Gunfighter, and The Black Swann (1942), delivers Prince of Foxes. The storyline for this picture felt a little Shakespearian with some solid dialogue and larger than life characters. The action was okay but the acting was excellent. The cast includes Tyrone Power, Orson Welles, Wanda Hendrix, and Everett Sloane. "Have you the stomach for greatness?" "The stomach and the appetite." This was recommended to me by Fios so I DVR'd it off FXM. This was interesting and Power and Welles deliver excellent performances. The conclusion comes together well; however, this isn't as good as similar films released in this era starring Errol Flynn. Overall, this is worth a viewing but not worth adding to your classic film DVD collection unless it's due to the cast. "A wise tongue never needs to repeat itself." Grade: B- Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good plot. Acting was good, but the costumes could be a little bit better. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Historical swashbuckling joy that is expertly written--Orson Welles & Everett Sloane Revel Amid Medieval Pomp & Panoply!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Frances H Loved Orson Welles as Cesare Borgia, and, of course, Everett Sloane makes this picture. The script was such a good adaption of Samuel Shellabarger's book. And Tyrone Power plays his usual confident, cocky, swashbuckling self as the hero, full of charm and wit. Pure entertainment! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/12 Full Review Audience Member A sprawling story of Renaissance politics, betrayal, and love, this epic tale is well-shot and beautifully cast. Tyrone Power plays the spy of the evil duke (Orson Welles), sent into the castle of a small, peaceful village. Love mingles his quest for power, and true loyalty emerges. Tender scenes dot the already breathtaking landscape of on-location European architecture and hillsides. A moving story, and much fulfilling.
