The King and the Chorus Girl

Drinking his way through exile in Paris, deposed monarch Alfred VII (Fernand Gravey) spent an evening at the Folies flirting with chorine Dorothy Ellis (Joan Blondell)...and got a telling off after he slept though their scheduled rendezvous.

Royal romantic farce scripted by Groucho Marx and Norman Krasna co-stars Jane Wyman, Alan Mowbray, Kenny Baker. 94 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
