The 1930s was an era when special effects improved by leaps and bounds and were all the rage when this film was made.So in this film we get George Arliss the blacksheep of the family meeting George Arliss the Foreign Secretary.They actually shake hands.George the wanderer kidnaps his brother and goes to a meeting at the Foreign office where he unveils 2 Arab emissaries as murderers of their sheikh.Interestingly enough the actor who plays the PM is a dead ringer for the then PM Stanley Baldwin.This is the sort of film that Arliss was able to do with his eyes shut.he is such an accomplished actor.It is a very entertaining film.
