Angelique and the King (1966)
The dazzling mistress of rogues and royalty gambles her beauty for the favor of the most elegant Libertine in all of France - Louis XIV himself.
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.
