Royal Flash

It is 19th Century Europe and Captain Harry Flashman (Malcolm McDowell) is a gutless bully who seeks admission into European high society. Seeing a chance to promote their own menacing political schemes devious Otto von Bismarck (Oliver Reed) and Rudi Von Sternberg (Alan Bates) convince Flashman to disguise himself as a Prussian noble so that he can marry a gorgeous duchess (Britt Ekland). However, the hoax is discovered, and Flashman flees the continent, experiencing one calamity after another as well as some of history`s most significant events in this hilarious romp that might just make you laugh instead of marvel at the next comic book hero you encounter!
