User review:

At the beginning of the 20th century, the hard-governed Kingdom of Pannonia was on the verge of revolt. An attack is preparing against the young king of 12 years old, a boy far too young for the charge which he has just inherited from his terrible father, murdered dead. Without a parent, having only a benevolent governess as a friend, the young boy wastes away without the Court’s intriguers being concerned about it… Freely adapted from a novel by the writer-historian of Alsatian origin André Lichtenberger, The Little Kingremained for a long time untraceable, for legal reasons it seems. The film takes place in two parts, the first dark part with a rather heavy atmosphere, marked by the confinement of the young boy (even his bed looks like a cage). This part is the most successful; fortunately, it is the longest. The second part, brighter and even joyful, is much less remarkable. She uses fairly conventional methods to become a dreadful teardrop. Julien Duvivier finds Robert Lynen, the young actor with whom he had filmed his second version of Poil de Carotte the previous year. He does a great job, expressing well the mixture of innocence and fatalism that characterizes his character (we can measure the difference when he meets a girl who has a really terrible game).The Little King is a film that deserves to be discovered.
