So, 'His Majesty & Co.' is a curious little musical from 1935. The story unfolds in the fictional Poldavia, where John, a British chap on holiday, gets tangled up with Princess Sandra. It's a light-hearted romp, especially when John returns to England and connects with Sandra's royal family. There's something charming about how they decide to open a restaurant together—it's like a blend of culinary delights and musical interludes. The pacing has a relaxed rhythm, perfect for the era, with a whimsical atmosphere that's hard to resist. The performances, while not groundbreaking, have a certain innocent charm that fits the setting well. Overall, it's an interesting snapshot of the period's approach to escapist entertainment.
This film is relatively rare, with few prints circulating among collectors. Its status isn't as high as other musicals from the era, but it has garnered a niche interest due to its unique premise and historical context. As a collector, you'll appreciate the quaint approach to storytelling and the subtle blend of music and culinary arts, which isn't often explored in features of this time.
