the lion's share

A Cecil B De Mille in miniature..

There's nothing like Thibet to begin a story.There a cast of (approximately) thousands gather to acclaim the Grand Khan (or a French actor made up as the Grand Khan).But we learn that this Mogol is an impostor.The rightful heir is Prince Roundghito-Sing,in love with a princess whose name I forgot.The Khan gets jealous and throws the girl into a dungeon.Her attentive escort snatches the damsel in distress of the tyrant's clutches .But ,alas,the princess is recaptured and all the prince has to do is sail away...

And that's only the first five minutes! On the ship en route to Europe he meets a director and an actress who take him to Paris.It's the director's turn to get jealous.

A scene on the ship might have inspired Hergé for his Tintin adventures:the prince comes to the rescue of another damsel in distress but it's only a movie.There is a similar scene in "the cigars of the pharaoh".Another good scene is the fancy dress ball where anything can happen .And everything happens as the prince meets up again with his sister who is none other than...And Thibet is not forgotten.

Quite a feat to tell such a story in about 20 minutes!
