The Great King is a 1942 German drama film directed by Veit Harlan and starring Otto Gebühr. It depicts the life of Frederick the Great, who ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786. It received the rare "Film of the Nation" distinction. It was part of a popular cycle of "Prussian films".

Production

Frederick the Great was previously adapted into film for propaganda usage in The Hymn of Leuthen by future Reich Chamber of Film president Carl Froelich, The Old and the Young King, and Fridericus. The Great King was commissioned by Joseph Goebbels, who later ordered multiple scenes to be rewritten. It served to advance and support the idea of total war. It was one of the most expensive films produced in the Nazi era.
