About The Prince and the Pauper
In the London of 1537, two boys resembling each other exactly meet accidentally and exchange "roles" for a short while. After many adventures, the prince regains his rightful identity and graciously makes his "twin" a ward of the court.
Directed by Don Chaffey, The Prince and the Pauper leans on a strong ensemble — Guy Williams, Laurence Naismith, Donald Houston — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1962.
