Charlemagne is a 1933 French comedy drama film directed by Pierre Colombier and starring Raimu, Léon Belières and Marie Glory.

Synopsis

An arrogant baron, his mistress and several others are stranded on a desert island during a shipwreck. The crew member Charlemagne grows tired of the aristocrat's behaviour and, being by far the most capable, declares himself ruler of the island. This situation lasts until the castaways are at last rescued by another vessel.
