Dubarry Was a Lady Movie trailer (1943) - Plot synopsis: Hapless nightclub hatcheck boy Red Skelton loves glamorous chanteuse Lucille Ball.

Handsome hoofer Gene Kelly loves her too.

And Lucy?

Lucy loves money.

Then Red mistakenly gulps down a Mickey Finn and dreams he's in 18th-century France.

Before you can powder your wig, a throng of suitors -- Red, Gene, King Louis XV, a dashing rebel, a sinister duke and just about everybody -- loves Lucy!

This glittery, tune-filled bonbon features a supporting cast of wags and wits (including the inimitable Zero Mostel) and three Cole Porter songs from the original Broadway smash: "Friendship," "Katie Went to Haiti" and "Do I Love You?" Cherchez la Lucy for comedy, music and star power from Hollywood's golden era.

Director: Roy Del Ruth Writers: Herbert Fields, Buddy G.

DeSylva, Nancy Hamilton Stars: Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, Gene Kelly Genre: Comedy, Musical
