The King of Pelicania
Princess Lola has been exiled from her native Pelicania after one of her relatives usurped the throne. She is now the celebrated prima donna of the Revue Theatre, arousing rapturous applause from audiences night after night. However, the princess has her most devoted admirers behind the scenes. The young theatre doctor Ove Helmer loves her, and our two old friends, Pat and Patachon – one now a prompter at the theatre, the other a make-up artist – regard her with the warmest affection. When the princess finally gets the opportunity to return to her native Pelicania, Pat and Patachon are eager to come along to help her assert her position. As things progress, Patachon's striking resemblance to the country’s king has unexpected consequences. (stumfilm.dk)

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a lighthearted fable blending backstage romance and political farce, using the iconic duo of Pat and Patachon as the engine for absurd situations. It relies on the visual wit of silent cinema, turning each sequence into a graceful vaudeville sketch.
Those who tire of cynical humor will find joy in its innocent mischief and playful physical comedy. What lingers after the curtain falls is the charm of a simpler, more inventive era of laughter. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Valdemar Andersen
