Delusions of Grandeur

1971 · 108 min

A lively, witty period romp full of disguises, misunderstandings, and slapstick scheming that keeps you amused and charmed.

Overview
Don Sallust is the minister of the King of Spain. Being disingenuous, hypocritical, greedy and collecting the taxes for himself, he is hated by the people he oppresses. Accused by The Queen, a beautiful princess Bavarian, of having an illegitimate child to one of her maids of honor, he was stripped of his duties and ordered to retire to a monastery.
