If I Were King
US (1938): Adventure
In 1463, Paris is besieged by the Duke of Burgundy, arch-rival of the king, who is content to sit tight while the poor starve. But there are traitors in Paris, and King Louis goes undercover to find one, thereby meeting François Villon, poet, philosopher and rogue. By chance Villon kills the king's traitor and is ordered to replace him -- as Grand Constable of France! But there's a catch... Frank Lloyd directs this Paramount release with Ronald Colman, Basil Rathbone, Frances Dee, Ellen Drew, C. V. France, Henry Wilcoxon and Sidney Toler. (IMDb)
