Il principe consorte

Considered by many to be the first musical film in which the songs were integrated with the story.

The fact that Count Alfred (Maurice Chevalier) speaks with a French accent, even though he is not supposed to be French, is really not an "error". However, by adding a scene to attempt to explain this anomaly, it only serves to highlight the accent discrepancies in the casting. For instance, in contrast to the accent discrepancy with Chevalier's character, no one seems to notice that his French servant, Jacques (Lupino Lane), speaks British English with no discernible French accent.

There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA Srl: "IL PRINCIPE CONSORTE (1929) + AMAMI STANOTTE (1932)" (2 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.
