Wiki.
Lelíček in the Services of Sherlock Holmes (Czech: Lelíček ve službách Sherlocka Holmese) is a 1932 Czech comedy film directed by Karel Lamač, starring Vlasta Burian.
Sherlock Holmes was portrayed by Martin Frič. The main character is František Lelíček, who accepts an offer to act as a double for the Puerto Rican King Fernando XXIII as he is deeply in debt. Vlasta Burian plays both roles.
The director Karel Lamač simultaneously shot the French version of the film Le Roi bis with Pierre Bertin in the main double role (while the detective was again played by Frič and the queen by Truda Grosslichtová). Lamač went on to film The Hound of the Baskervilles, 'in Germany in 1937.
