THE STUDENT PRINCE OF OLD HEIDELBERG
starring Ramon Novarro and Norma Shearer
PHOTOPLAY
November, 1927
When the doctors disagree, it is usually hard on the patient. It was in this case. Ernst Lubitsch originally directed the picture. John Stahl redid the love scenes. Someone else inserted new backgrounds. Yet above the doctoring triumphantly rises the deeply poignant love story of Karl Heinrich and Kathie, of the German prince and the pretty serving maid who loved him so devotedly she made him study and go back to his kingdom, though it broke the hearts of both of them.
The distinguished work of the entire cast gives the picture
its greatest appeal. Equal honors go to Ramon Novarro as the
Prince, Norma Shearer as Kathie, Jean Hersholt as the tutor and
Phillippe de Lacy as the young Prince. This is a film for all
young hearts from babyhood to beards.
