Brilliant comedy with Arliss successfully pulling off two twin brothers, completely unalike, a rare opportunity for aspiring actors to study characterization in detail.
Much fun. The plot revolves around an assassinated Arab leader, the attempt to shift the murder onto a Britain, attempts to rescue the heir from assassination as well, and a black sheep saving the day from an incompetent twin who has risen to the top.
Soundtrack suffers from much static noise in the silences, but sound otherwise is fine. Print on the DVD I saw rather through the mill, but still eminently watchable due to Arliss alone.
One of his last films and one to show he was still at the top of his game.
