Also known as Crossed Swords, this thrilling adaptation of Mark Twain's classic novel featuring an all-star cast is a lively tale of action, adventure, romance and intrigue, directed by award winning filmmaker Richard Fleischer.

Tom Canty (Mark Lester) is a cockney street urchin with an uncanny resemblance to Prince Edward (Mark Lester), son of King Henry VIII (Charlton Heston). After a chance meeting with the young Prince of Wales, Tom and Edward decide to see how the other half lives, playing a prank on their respective families. Switching roles they each enter a new world of opportunity and challenge. But as one is thrust into the privileged world of royalty, the other is forced to survive the harsh underworld of Tudor England.

A lavishly presented production from the creative team behind The Three Musketeers, The Prince and the Pauper also features Raquel Welch, Ernest Borgnine, George C. Scott, Rex Harrison, Oliver Reed and David Hemmings.
