In [[Sacha Guitry]]'s ''[[Si Versailles m'était conté]]'', Louis was portrayed by one of the film's producers, Gilbert Bokanowski, using the alias Gilbert Boka. Several portrayals have upheld the image of a bumbling, almost foolish king, such as that by [[Jacques Morel (actor)|Jacques Morel]] in the 1956 French film ''[[Marie-Antoinette reine de France]]'' and that by Terence Budd in the ''[[Lady Oscar (film)|Lady Oscar]]'' live action film. In the 1989 series [[La Révolution française (film)|La Révolution française]], [[Jean-François Balmer]] played Louis as an intelligent, but ultimately ineffective ruler overwhelmed by events.<ref>IMdB, "The French Revolution" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098238/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st#cast</ref> In ''[[Start the Revolution Without Me]]'', Louis XVI is portrayed by [[Hugh Griffith]] as a laughable [[cuckold]]. [[Mel Brooks]] played a comic version of Louis XVI in ''[[The History of the World Part 1]]'', portraying him as a [[libertine]] who has such distaste for the peasantry he uses them as targets in [[skeet shooting]]. In the 1996 film ''[[Ridicule (film)|Ridicule]]'', [[Urbain Cancelier]] plays Louis.
