Quite amusing if you can get past the start

Started to watch this a while back but gave up after a first ten minutes of pure inanity. Having enjoyed another Gene Gerrard comedy, It's A Bet, thought I'd give it another try, and it turned out to be a wafer-light B.I.P. farce of the time with well-timed comical situations and some amusing dialogue. Gerrard is an English playboy who somehow becomes a reluctant king of Europe's smallest country aided and abetted by Gus McNaughton as his American financial advisor who talks in catchphrases and lives on peanuts. Most of the action takes place in the home of an English duke and the king falls for his daughter (Molly Lamont) being relieved the tiny country has been bought for use as 'a dirt track'.

The musical genre features stories that combine music, singing, dancing, acting, and often spoken dialogue to tell a story or convey a narrative. Musicals incorporate various elements of drama, music, and choreography to create a cohesive theatrical experience that engages audiences on multiple levels.
