Radio review – SDP – “Prince of Foxes” (1951) **1/2

Doug Fairbanks Jnr slips naturally into Tyrone Power’s screen role as a charming adventurer who works for Cesar Borgia (who is here not played by Orson Welles); he is sent on a mission to smooth talk a besieged city into surrendering, but rather like Sam Worthington in Avatar he winds up changing sides.

No classic but not bad with Fairbanks well cast; its interesting to listen to a swashbuckler set in medieval Italy, and with a Borgia in the cast.
