Probably the closest we can get to it might be the Leslie Howard/Merle Oberon film. And of course we don't know what the original ending was in the play, as presumably Orczy used the altered ending for the book, given that the play became such a success.
While it definitely wasn't a five star read for me this time around (by comparison with my breathless excitement over it when 10 or 11), I have certainly enjoyed this discussion a lot.
