The Prisoner of Zenda
directed by: John Cromwell
David O. Selznick/United Artists, 1937
This is a classic swashbuckler with Colman playing both lead characters. Rudolph Rassendyll and King Rudolf V's are identical lookalike cousins. When King Rudolf is drugged by his evil brother, Michael, Rassendyll, who is just visiting on a fishing holiday, is asked to risk his life and impersonate the King during his coronation the next day. He does well, but the real King is kidnapped, so Rassendyll must continue the impersonation until Rudolf V is rescued. Princess Flavia, the King's betrothed, begins to notice a "personality change" in her fiancee and she and Rassendyll fall in love.
