A pretty decent movie with a good premise - a boy falls for a Dutchess in Eastern Europe in the turn of the century. Of course their childhood romance is torn apart as his pedicree simply isn't up to snuff. Of course this boy grows up to be a famous illusionist who runs into the Dutchess and they rekindle their romance. One problem, though - she's to be engaged to the heir to the throne. Along the way, mystery and intrigue along with some truly spooky special effects (that no illusionist today can match), we get interesting characters in an interesting time. Well worth a look.
