I've read The Prisoner of Zenda(sticking to old books turned into old movies, I'm currently reading Captain Blood) but Rupert of Hentzau has been impossible to find. I imagine it would be an excellent read since the character is so fun. I think the character Rupert of Hentzau as played by Fairbanks and Mason stole the show in both films. I was about 12 when I first saw The Prisoner Of Zenda (1937). And being accustomed to how contemporary films work, I assumed there must have been a sequel since Rupert escaped. Sadly, it was never filmed. It would have been a good one, with either cast!

I have read both books many times. And in some ways, I like the sequel better then the original, though, I won't say more then that in case anyone comes across a copy and wants to read it. I think you would like it, Deej.
As for "Captain Blood," though, I have never read it. It is by Rafael Sabatini, a swashbuckling author of no little renown in his day. Though, now sadly forgotten. Besides "Captain Blood," a number of his other novels were translated to the screen. Among which were "The Sea-Hawk," "Scaramouche," and "The Black Swan." All great films (IMHO)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
