Du Barry Did All Right

About This Movie

Du Barry Did All Right is a curious blend of comedy and music, directed by Joseph Henabery. Set against the backdrop of Parisian charm, it captures a woman's longing for excitement and connection, which leads her to the bright lights of New York City. The film has this whimsical tone that feels both lighthearted and a bit wistful, reflecting her inner conflict. Performances are solid, but what really stands out is the musical interludes, an interesting choice that adds to its distinctiveness. There’s a unique atmosphere here, with a pace that ebbs and flows, mirroring the protagonist's emotional journey. Definitely a film that showcases a slice of its era’s sensibilities—worth a watch if you appreciate those musical comedies from the late 30s.
