Based on the play by Gaston Arman de Caillavet, Robert de Flers, and Émile Arène, first performed in 1908.
A foreign monarch is visiting France and gets pastry in the face thrown by a woman who happens to be the wife of a congressman. His party colleagues approach the politician and suggest ways to neutralize the embarrassing incident, which involve hunting and -- profiting from the monarch's philandering proclivities -- women.
Well-made comedy which sheds some light on the curious phenomenon of cuckolds in high places.
