The King's Breakfast (film)

The King's Breakfast is a 1963 British short musical family film directed by Wendy Toye and starring Maurice Denham, Mischa Auer, and Reginald Beckwith.

[6] The film's success led the producer Jack Le Vien to offer Grainer the soundtrack for his Winston Churchill documentary The Finest Hours (1964).

The characters of the Master of the King's Music, the magician, the chamberlain, the gym instructor, the serpent player, the musicians, and the Tweeney were all created for the film.

A. Milne's simple rhyme about the King's determination to get a little butter on his bread is here expanded by Wendy Toye into a colourfully ornate ballet. ...

Lally Bowers gives the Queen a pert, soubrettish quality and the cow – a lifesize puppet – has a coquettish pair of false eyelashes.
