I've seen parts of this (soon after pulling this trick, the boy whines to himself that all he has is the coin and it's not even a real one), but can't remember its title either.

I can't speak for Tylendal, but that's likely it.

That's likely it. Thanks jormis. No idea why I would have ever seen a Hungarian movie older than I am, but my curiosity has been sated.
There was this movie that started out with people laughing at their besiegers trying to breach the castle walls, until the besiegers pulled out a really REALLY big cannon. A baby/child was taken away while the castle fell (and was raised by gypsies?). When he was older, at one point he tricked his way past a guard using some sleight of hand with a gold coin. There was a villain who had a tendency to get so ridiculously angry that a cannon's release valve had been fitted to his head, so he could "blow off some steam". I believe at one point he was put to sleep by someone grabbing him and holding the valve open. Anyone remember this?
