Ann Blyth in THE KING'S THIEF (1955)

Ann Blyth plays the daughter of a persecuted nobleman after the rise of Charles II in England in The King's Thief (1955), and she's out to find out what happened to her father and confront the evil fellow responsible - played by David Niven.  You can watch it today on Turner Classic Movies - 4:30 pm. ET. 

Ann is reunited with Edmund Purdom, who starred with her in The Student Prince (1954). George Sanders plays the lusty Charles II in this extravagant historical adventure, and look for a young and dashing Roger Moore early in his career.

Two Ann Blyth Movies Next Week on TCM!

If it's Mother's Day, then you know Turner Classic Movies will be featuring our favorite mother-daughter drama, Mildred Pierce (1945).  Joan Crawford imparts some motherly advice to young Ann in the photo above, but we know darn well the girl has ideas of her own. Tune in Sunday, May 13th at 8 p.m. ET.

We get a chaser, however, the very next day, Monday the 14th, when TCM will be showing The King's Thief (1955) co-starring David Niven as the corrupt official in the reign of King Charles II in this lavish costume piece.  Tune in Monday, May 14th at 9:45 a.m. ET.

From Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star. -

Ann Blyth plays the daughter of one such discredited nobleman, who has lived in exile in France.  Now that the war is done, she’s eager to return to England, but is shocked and heartbroken when her father’s friend comes to tell her the news that Niven has put her father to death.  Though told she must never return to England now, nevertheless, Ann is a feisty gentlewoman.  She’s heading back to find out what happened to her father and confront this David Niven fellow.
