No relation to the 1952 Toulouse Lautrec biopic of the same name, Moulin
Rouge was produced, directed and written by German-filmmaker E. A.
Dupont. Olga Tschechowa plays the star dancer of Paris' famed Moulin
Rouge nightspot. Her daughter Eve Gray is in love with impressionable
Jean Bradin. Alas, Jean adores another-Eve's own mother. A blessed
relief from the usual turgid, slapped-together British films of the period,
Moulin Rouge has visual moments that approach the brilliance of
Dupont's previous backstage melodrama, the German Variety.
