CinemaSerf:
I quite enjoyed Francis Lederer's interpretation of our reformed "Lanyard" here. He arrives in Paris only to find his luxury hotel a bit reticent to accommodate him! It doesn't help that he has more wanted posters on him than Billy the Kid! Anyway, some endorsements from the great and the good of European policing get him in, and straight into a blackmailing mess that could effect the future king of 'Arvonne". It seems the Queen (Ruth Robinson) effectively pawned the crown jewels to her nobility who are now refusing to return them so the mischievous "Grand Duke Gregor" (Walter Kingsford) can usurp the throne. Luckily, our hero and the feisty princess "Thania" (Frances Drake) concoct a cunning plan to get the stones back into the right hands before the imminent coronation of her young brother. There are some spurious accents throughout this hour-long drama, but it's still quite a characterful little enterprise with Lederer and Kingsford developing quite a decent, knife-throwing, cat and mouse scenario. The production is on the basic side, and it really could have been doing with a bit more light, but it's decently paced with just enough intrigue and posh frocks to keep it watchable.
