		Pickford's charm and strong appeal are essential to the film's success, not to mention her undeniable star presence.
		While casting her as both Cedric and his mother might at first seem a bit of a gimmick, it works wonderfully, and it's easy for a viewer to believe he's watching two different actors who simply bear a strong resemblance to one another.
		Aside from Pickford, there's also good support from Claude Gillingwater, and Colin Kenny is an appropriately wicked pretender to the throne.

		There was absolutely no mention of Pickford whatsoever, and so when I came out to California and I wanted to learn more about her so I called the Mary Pickford Foundation to ask if I could volunteer so that I could learn more about Mary and see some of her rare films.
		She was probably more effective as an actress than Jack (Mary’s brother), because Jack was obviously very natural, he didn’t really have to work hard at it.
		Later in her life when her brother was just a lost cause, one of the things I tried to do in that documentary (“In Mary’s Shadow” The Story Of Jack Pickford) was not, even though the title is about him in Mary’s shadow, to make Mary out to be an overbearing, witch type role.
