Princess Caraboo

1994 · 97 min

A gentle, wry period charmer that ambles along with costumes, gossip and small conspiracies, more pleasant than gripping.

Tagline: She was everything they dreamed of... And nothing they expected.
Overview: Bristol, England, early 19th century. A beautiful young stranger who speaks a weird language is tried for the crime of begging. But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it is understood that the woman is a princess from a far away land. She is then welcomed by a family of haughty aristocrats that only wants to heighten their prestige. However, the local reporter is not at all convinced she is what she claims to be and investigates. Is Caraboo really a princess?
