The King and the Chorus Girl

The King and the Chorus Girl is a 1937 American romantic comedy film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Fernand Gravey, Joan Blondell and Edward Everett Horton.

Gravey (billed as "Gravet") was at the time the subject of a significant studio publicity campaign to build his image.

The film is notable for being the only one with a screenplay officially credited to Groucho Marx.

Plot
Alfred VII is a young and rich deposed King in exile in Paris and monumentally bored. When he becomes involved with a chorus girl whom he accidentally insults (by falling asleep), her indignation provides an opportunity for his loyal courtiers to bring him back to life.
