Short description
In 1890 Paris, Moulin Rouge is a nightclub where crippled artist Toulouse-Lautrec feels like he fits in. In the following years, he meets two women who provide an opportunity for him to find true love.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the novel of the same name by Pierre La Mure (1950), dedicated to the biography of the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
- Filming took place in Shepperton (Surrey, United Kingdom) as well as in London and Paris.
- José Ferrer (1912-1992) became Henri Toulouse-Lautrec through the use of camera angles, makeup, costumes, hidden pits and platforms, and short doubles. Ferrer also used special knee pads (which he designed himself) that allowed him to move on his knees, with his legs strapped below the knees to his body. This was very painful, and he could only endure it for short periods. The cane he used in many scenes was a vital necessity for him.
- Director John Huston (1906-1987) finished the final edit of the film just hours before its premiere, after which it was nominated for an Academy Award.
- The artist Marcel Vertes (1895-1961), whose hand is depicted drawing works by Lautrec, partially funded his art school education by forging and selling Lautrec's drawings.
- The film is based on the eponymous novel by Pierre La Mourre (1950), dedicated to the biography of the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
- José Ferrer (1912-1992) was made into Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec through the use of cameras positioned at specific angles, makeup, costumes, pits and platforms hidden from the audience, and short stature body doubles. Ferrer also used special knee pads (which he developed himself) that allowed him to move on his knees with his legs strapped to his body below the knees. This was very painful, and he could only endure it for short periods. The cane he used in many scenes was an absolutely essential item for him.
- Director John Huston (1906-1987) finished the final cut of the film just a few hours before the premiere, after which the film was nominated for an Oscar.
- Artist Marcel Vertès (1895-1961), whose hand is shown drawing Lautrec's works, partially paid for his art school tuition by forging and selling 'Lautrec' drawings.
