The Beloved Rogue is a 1927 United States silent film, loosely based on the life of the 15th-century French poet, François Villon. The film was directed by Alan Crosland for United Artists.
François Villon is played by John Barrymore, and other cast members include Conrad Veidt as King Louis XI and Marceline Day as Charlotte de Vauxcelles.
The story had been filmed in 1920 as If I Were King (1920 film) with William Farnum. The film was later re-made in the sound era again reverting to its original title If I Were King with Ronald Colman.
