Soldiers of the King is a 1933 British historical comedy film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Cicely Courtneidge, Edward Everett Horton and Anthony Bushell.[1] It was Courtneidge's fourth film, and the first she appeared in without her husband Jack Hulbert.[2] Courtneidge plays the matriarch of a music hall family, in a plot that switches between the Victorian era and the 1930s present.
Filming began in August 1932. It was shot at Islington, Beaconsfield and Welwyn Studios.[3] The film's art direction is by Alex Vetchinsky. It was popular enough to be re-issued in 1939.
