King Ralph

PG l

Starring
John Goodman, Peter O'Toole, John Hurt

Director
David S Ward

Year
1991

Genre
Comedy

Synopsis
Golden Globe winner John Goodman stars in the hilarious story of a sleazy Vegas lounge singer who is found to be the only living heir to the British throne after a freak accident wipes out the royal family.

The reluctant monarch must learn proper etiquette from a loyal aristocrat (Oscar nominee Peter O'Toole) and thwart the evil plans of Lord Graves (Oscar nominee John Hurt) in this delightfully funny film delivered masterfully by Oscar-winning director David S. Ward (The Sting).

Trivia: the real royal family name, Windsor, was changed to the fictional name Windham; the Treason Act of 1702 by which Ralph has Lord Percival Graves arrested is an actual Act of Parliament, enacted in the last year of William the Third's reign.
