Up with The Third Man for Welles completionists
5 May 2015
Filmed in authentic historic locations, The Prince of Foxes is a gorgeous production with some good Orson Welles action going for it.

His part here is substantial. There are about 8-10 long scenes, many are key scenes. He plays Cesare Borgia, and the entire film is about him and a plot he puts in motion with the help of Tyrone Power's character.

One of the better Welles acting parts. Recommended to those who like these kinds of rapier and robes period pieces. Perfect world for Welles, his voice sounds wonderful in it, and he is convincing as Borgia. For Welles aficionados this one is a 10/10 among the non-directorial pictures. Deserves to be viewed as much as The Third Man.
