La Galette du roi (1986)

1h 30m 1986 France

Victor Harris, on the brink of financial ruin, is set to wed Maria-Helena, a princess whose dowry includes half of her struggling island kingdom. Her father, King Arnold III, a timid ruler burdened by gambling debts, eagerly anticipates the wealth this union promises. While Harris and the king dream of financial salvation through this royal alliance, a colorful cast of supporting characters injects humor and chaos into the otherwise formulaic narrative. Their antics provide a lively backdrop to the overarching themes of greed and royal expectations in this comedic farce.
