A fairy fable place in a French town caught between the opposing armies of the First World War, “King of Hearts” has lost none of its beguiling charm in the 35 years since its fresh release, nor has its message grown worn. Alan Bates shines as Charles Plumpick, a simple private in a Scottish regiment and perhaps the only sane man in the abandoned town. But is his world of war and brutality really any saner than the make-believe world conjured up by the escaped inmates of the town lunatic asylum, the only residents Private Plumpick encounters during his reconaissance? It is a point of conception that depends entirely on one’s perspective. This whimsical, gentle yarn challenges the watcher to reexamine what constitutes accurate madness, impartial as the asylum characters force Pvt. Plumpick, having been to his initial discomfort acclaimed as the King of Hearts, to settle which role he prefers: king of the fools or fool for King George V? Broca directs his gain screenplay with a deft touch and using a stellar cast of mostly French actors. A very young Genevieve Bujold makes one of her earliest appearances in a major characterize. The English subtitles aren’t the best I’ve seen (and unlike the VHS version, are distractingly explain even during English dialogue), but far better than the poor English-dubbed version of “King of Hearts” that is sometimes broadcast or sold. (The best subtitles I have ever seen were on a print that circulated around theatres during the 1970s and 1980s, but I’ve never seen this version venerable for home video.) The glean by Georges Delerue is one of his best.
Quelle Surprise! This DVD version has, without fanfare, at least two entirely fresh scenes in the film that I have never seen before (and I first saw this in 1977) . The first is a lengthier “homily” by Monseigneur Marguerite (aka Bishop Daisy) in the church before Charles’ coronation. But the actual grabber is an added scene at the very waste of the movie that offers a parting glimpse at the important players and a final bittersweet twist. Where on earth did this footage near from, and why has it been missing from this film for so long? Does this DVD version offer a “better” ending than the familiar one? It’s debateable. But it’s certainly curious.
Near the waste of the First World War, Charles Plumpick is dispatched to a French town that has been wired to explode by midnight. His mission is to defuse the explosives. Never mind that he is an expert at raising and training carrier pigeons. He dutifully sets out on his mission, and avoids catch by the Germans by escaping into an insane asylum.
By now, we’re all familiar with the view that war is itself insane. We’ve all been exposed to the opinion that insanity may be a higher obtain of sanity. What’s magical about this film is that it communicates these ideas with such charm and such finesse. I can’t imagine that anybody could avoid falling in like with the inmates as they hold over the town once it’s abandoned.

Alan Bates is pleasurable as the gentle yet dutiful Plumpick. A very young Genevieve Bujold is absolutely amazing as the innocent Coquelicot. I rarely spy the music in a film, but in The King of Hearts it plays a pivotal role in establishing the mood, and accompanying the action. It is also fair music in its have suitable.
This could have been an earnest anti-war film heavy-handedly stating its upright (remember the movie made of Catch-22? ) . The direction, the music, and the performances of all the actors (Alan Bates and Genevieve Bujold are the only names that I perceive, but there isn’t a venerable performance here), though, assume this far above that level and compose it a masterpiece that has stood the test of time well.
