Good King Dagobert

In this comedic tale, Mr. Pelletan's son Bébert faces punishment for poor grades by having to write an essay on King Dagobert, who is humorously imagined to have had eight wives and engaged in a ludicrous war for the crown of Reims. With elements like a female spy, disguises, and even a sword fight, the narrative is a playful twist on historical events from the middle ages. The character of archbishop Eloi, portrayed as an inventor, adds another layer of absurdity to the story.

Good King Dagobert features a cast that includes Fernandel, Gino Cervi, and Darío Moreno, providing a lively performance that enhances the film's comedic tone. With its unique blend of historical parody and humor, collectors may find this film an interesting addition to their comedy or foreign film collections. Good King Dagobert is available on DVD for those looking to own this piece of cinematic history.
