Also known as Henry IV and the Woodchopper in the USA
(1911) France
B&W : Split-reel
Directed by Georges Denola

Cast: Camille Dumény, Jean Jacquinet, Jeanne Bérangère

Compagnie Genérale des Établissements Pathé Frères Phonographes & Cinématographes production; distributed by Compagnie Genérale des Établissements Pathé Frères Phonographes & Cinématographes. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format. / The film was released in the USA on 10 May 1912; in a split-reel with Cod Fishing Off Iceland (1912).

Drama.

Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? This is a story of La Fontaine's, of a king who, becoming lost in the woods, accepts the hospitality of the woodchopper, who in return asks to be shown the king at the coming country fair, not knowing that his guest is Henry IV himself. To tell the balance of the story would be to spoil the effect of the film; let it suffice that the whole is exceedingly interesting and the ending a surprise.
