My Friend the King

My Friend the King is a lost 1932 British comedy film, directed by Michael Powell and starring Jerry Verno. It was written by John Jefferson Farjeon. The film was a follow-up to Two Crowded Hours (1931), Powell's directorial debut, with comedian Verno reprising his role as a chirpy Cockney taxi driver who gets mixed up in shady doings. This film however was less well-received, with Powell recalling it as "a complete failure", also noting that he worked on six films during 1932 and that "they couldn't all be good...and they weren't".
