My Friend the King is a 1932 British comedy film, directed by Michael Powell and starring Jerry Verno.
The film was a follow-up to Two Crowded Hours, Powell's unexpectedly popular directorial debut of the previous year, with comedian Verno reprising his role as a chirpy Cockney taxi driver who gets mixed up in shady doings.
[1] Taxi driver Jim befriends Ruritanian child King Ludwig while the latter is on a visit to London.
After the child is abducted Jim uses all his ingenuity, including cross-dressing as a countess and becoming involved in a car chase, to rescue him from his captors.
"[1] Picturegoer Weekly found: "There is not much subtlety about the burlesque, but it is presented with plenty of action...not great stuff this, but helps pass three-quarters of an hour quite pleasantly.
