Sacha Guitry plays four roles-including King Francis I and Napoleon-in this multilingual whirlwind of pageantry that investigates the fate of three pearls missing from the royal crown of England. Guitry's first script written directly for the screen rockets through four centuries of European history with imaginative, winking irreverence. (official distributor synopsis)
