This isn't that extraordinary,but,when you see s silent actor all of a sudden talk it becomes a surprise as if he did not know how to talk.Silents gave that impression since their was more facial expressions.The actor also had to memorize their lines still too.I found his voice to be strange.He was British and sounded like he had an accent ,but then I learned he was a welsh and obviously could not get rid of the accent entirely ,like Richard Burton did.Of course, he was playing a Russian too. So he too advantage of his welsh accent ad made it sound Russian.He plays a homeless Russian in England who is discovered By Ursula Jeans,who works a perfume counter and he falls for her family.Her sister Ada,played by a young Ida Lupino,who works at a fashion shop.Her Young Brother Albert,played by Douglas Beaumont,who wants a radio so bad,that when His Father give him the money for down payment and disappears never to be seen again.The father ,who's runs a business, M.r. Wallis,played by Eliot Makham.The mother ,played by Minnie Rayner.The Aunt,who's cooks for the family and is the only one has common sense,played by Flossie Williams.They were all normal ,but imperfect family.Then Prince Felix show up,when Ursula offers him a place to sleep.He decide to give his mother medallion that she got from the czar, to the family to sell the jewel in it so they can buy stuff for themselves.The father start having an affair with Miss violet played by Beryl Harrison.The mother start acting snobbish and get drunk .Ada decides to move in with some man,but regrets it when she thinks she has fallen in love with the prince.Ursula stays normal ,but she end up getting fired from her job.A young lean Jack Hawkins plays Mort Ursula boy friend ,that she's not crazy for.When Mrs Wallis has a tea party to introduce the prince ,this is when disaster happens after the prince gets her friend a little drunk with vodka .Mr Walls girl friend show up at the house to make trouble ,but Ivor takes care of that by threatening her with the cops .That problem solved. Now Mrs Wallis is kicking Mr Wallis out. The cook confront Ivan what he has done with this family .The only solution he realizes is to leave them,but when Ursula finds out she really in love with the prince she chases to the station.This was a warm heartening film. 09/06/13
