Wikipedia article
'The King and the Chorus Girl' is a 1937 American romantic comedy film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Fernand Gravey, Joan Blondell and Edward Everett Horton.
Gravey (billed as "Gravet") was at the time the subject of a significant studio publicity campaign to build his image.
The film is notable for being the only one with a screenplay officially credited to Groucho Marx.
