The Dubarry (German: Die Dubarry) is a 1951 German musical film directed by Georg Wildhagen and Reinhold Schünzel and starring Sari Barabas, Willy Fritsch and Albert Lieven. It is named after the operetta Die Dubarry, but uses the work only as a background. It was made at the Wandsbek Studios in Hamburg. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Willi Herrmann and Heinrich Weidemann.
Synopsis
Jeanne Fabian is a singer celebrated for her role as Madame Dubarry, but her financial backing from a wealthy admirer leads to criticism.
