The King and the Chorus Girl is a 1937 American film.
Fernand Gravey plays Alfred, a young and rich deposed king in exile in Paris, monumentally bored. When he becomes involved with a chorus girl who he accidentally insults (by falling asleep), her indignation provides an opportunity for his loyal courtiers to bring him back to life.
Gravey (billed as "Gravet") was at the time the subject of a significant studio publicity campaign to build his image.
