The Prisoner of Zenda is a 1961 American television play based on the novel The Prisoner of Zenda starring Christopher Plummer.[1] Plummer said "We hope to bring more energy and style to our TV adaptation" than the 1937 film version.[2]
The Los Angeles Times called it "dull and uninteresting".[3] The Daily News said it was "a creaky but action filled antique".[4] "Left me fighting back yawns," declared the Miami Herald.[5]
