Movie description:
Due to a revolution in his country, King Shahdov comes to New York – almost broke. To get some money he goes to TV, making commercials and meets Rupert Macabee, the child from communist parents. Due to this he is suddenly a suspected as a communist himself and has to face one of McCarthy’s hearings.
Fleeing revolution in his country, a European monarch seeks refuge in 1950s New York City. His corrupt Prime Minister having left him penniless, King Shahdov even stars in TV commercials to fund his living expenses. Meeting Rupert Macabee, a boy whose parents are being persecuted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, he takes the homeless ten-year old under his wing, but soon after is summoned to his own HUAC hearing. Hilarious mayhem ensues, but the boy’s fate is not quite as carefree.
