Quotes from The Prisoner of Zenda

Rudolf Rassendyll: [when his life is threatened by Hentzau] Half my kingdom... for a match.


Rupert of Hentzau: [referring to the King] He's in a woodcutter's cabin. Oh, and by the way, royal blood is not blue as most people think. It's red. I know because I had to spill a little.


Rudolf Rassendyll: [having difficulty putting on the King's ring] I hope the crown's a better fit.

Facts about The Prisoner of Zenda

This version's music score is an adaptation of the one composed by Alfred Newman for the 1937 version.
One of the changes from the 1937 version is changing the character of the Bishop to a Cardinal. Long-time MGM contract player Lewis Stone played the part. Ironically, Stone played both leads in the 1922 version of The Prisoner of Zenda.
The Ruritanian Royal Train seen briefly as Rassendyl and the others travel to Strelsau for the coronation is stock footage of the Salzkammergut Lokalbahn, a narrow-gauge railway in the Salzburg area of Austria, that closed in 1957.
