**'Prince of Foxes' boasts an engaging script, robust performances from Orson Welles and Tyrone Power, and stunning black-and-white cinematography that captures authentic Italian locations, despite initial B-movie treatment. Henry King's direction and Alfred Newman's score elevate this period drama into a classic of storytelling and visual appeal.**
