The Royal Bed is a 1931 satirical comedy film produced by Henry Hobart and William LeBaron and distributed through RKO. The film stars Lowell Sherman and Mary Astor. It is based on a 1928 play by Robert E. Sherwood, called The Queen's Husband. [1] [2]
In 1958, the film entered the public domain in the USA due to the copyright claimants failure to renew the copyright registration in the 28th year after publication (the film is copyright 1930).[3]
