The classic tale of a doomed affair between a Prince and a barmaid is adapted to the screen in grand MGM style, and directed with great wit and warmth by Ernst Lubitsch. The two superstar leads, Ramon Novarro and Norma Shearer, perform with joyous, full-hearted abandon. Widely regarded as both a masterpiece of the silent era and a love story for the ages, The Student Prince In Old Heidelberg is best seen – and fallen in love with – on the larger-than-life screen.
