Based On the book by Mark Twain

The Prince and the Pauper (German: Prinz und Bettelknabe) is a 1920 Austrian silent adventure film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Tibor Lubinszky, Albert Schreiber, and Adolf Weisse. It is based on Mark Twain's 1881 novel The Prince and the Pauper about a poor boy who switches places with Edward, Prince of Wales in Tudor England. For the first time in this Austrian film, a child actor, the Hungarian Tibor Lubinszky, who at eleven years old already had a respectable career in cinema, was called to play the double role of protagonist.
