The Chastening of a Princess
by richardchatten2020-04-09
2/10

"Worth watching for the rare opportunity to see Gloria Grahame in Technicolor in what looks suspiciously like an old script originally intended for Maria Montez (or more probably rejected by her as too stupid, even for her) dusted off as a spoof; as the gallumphing music score seems desperate to remind us that it is!..."

This was Turhan Bey's last film until Healer (1994) 41 years later.
