A King in New York
The King of Comedians!
A satirical comedy-drama that uses a deposed king's fish-out-of-water journey through American celebrity culture and McCarthyism to skewer political hypocrisy and social absurdity.
A recently-deposed "Estrovian" monarch seeks shelter in New York City, where he becomes an accidental television celebrity. Later, he's wrongly accused of being a Communist and gets caught up in subsequent HUAC hearings.
