Royal Affairs in Versailles (Si Versailles m'était conté) is a 1954 film directed by Sacha Guitry, and starring Claudette Colbert, Sacha Guitry, Orson Welles, Jean-Pierre Aumont and Edith Piaf.
The film is best known by its English title Royal Affairs in Versailles.[2] It is also notable for the presence of a great number of well-known French actors, often appearing in short cameos. One unknown actor playing a major character is Gilbert Bokanowski (credited as Gilbert Boka) portraying Louis XVI. Bokanowski was actually the film's production manager and was cast because of his strong resemblance to the monarch.
