June 14 Prisoner of Zenda (1937)
A vacationing British man named Rudolf Rassendyll discovers that hes the spitting image of his distant cousin, Prince Rudolf V of Strelsau. When the prince is kidnapped by his dastardly half-brother (Raymond Massey), the Brit is called on to save the day in this romantic swashbuckler. Ronald Colman adroitly plays both Rudolphs, but Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. steals the show as the villainous Rupert of Hentzau.
