I Give My Heart (US-Title: The Loves of Madame Dubarry) is a 1935 British historical film adapted from the stage operetta The DuBarry by Carl Millöcker and arranged by Theo Mackeben.[1] [2] Directed by Marcel Varnel, and produced by British International Pictures (BIP).[3] It is based on the life of Madame Du Barry.[4]
Jeanne is a milliner courted by aristocrats. She first has an affair with René, a young writer for Count du Barry. She then marries the Count in order to become Louis XV's mistress.
Allmovie described it as "standard historical-drama fare, allowing dozens of top European actors to play "dress-up" for 90 minutes";[1] while TV Guide noted "A rather stiff British production that is well done but not compelling," rating it 2/5 stars.[5]
