Original title: Angélique et le Roy
Angelique and the King is a 1966 French-language adventure movie directed by Bernard Borderie, with a running time of 1h 40m. It stars Michèle Mercier, Robert Hossein and Jean Rochefort.
Soon after her latest husband death, the King himself (Louis XIV) meets with our heroine and begs her to help convince the Persian Ambassador to agree to a treaty. However, what they didn't realize was that the handsome Persian was in fact a sexual sadist.
