Plot Synopsis:
No boring historical pageant this, Warner Bros.’ Madame DuBarry is a fast-paced, often hilarious romantic romp. Her Mexican accent held in check, the ravishingly beautiful Dolores Del Rio plays 18th-century French courtesan DuBarry like a 20th-century golddigger on the make. Brought to Versailles as the companion of courtier D’Aigullon (Victor Jory), former street waif DuBarry charms her way into the heart — and boudoir — of gouty King Louis XV (Reginald Owen).
