Lowell Sherman and Mary Astor are the best parts of this film...them and maybe the spectacular wedding dress with Veil and the Queen's crown!
This was a film based on a play and during some moments that was obvious, probably more than it should be.
The heart of this story is about a royal Princess Anne, played by Astor, who wants to marry a commoner, Freddie, but her mother the queen has promised her off to the Crown Prince William.
Before their wedding...a peasant uprisings occurs (which I found very strange and unnecessary for the plot). Princess Anne could have gone off and married Freddie with her father's blessing...but she couldn't leave her father alone while the palace was under attack do she stays...which means marrying the Crown Prince when her mother returns...or does it?
The best part really is Sherman and Astor...they breathe wonderful life into the father and daughter relationship that is the only part of the film worthy of watching.
