Madame Sans-Gêne (1911 film)

1911 French film

Madame Sans-Gêne is a 1911 silent French film set in the French Revolution and during Napoleon's reign. It is based on the 1893 play of the same name.[1][3] Gabrielle Réjane and Edmond Duquesne reprised their roles in the play; Réjane played the title character, a laundress who marries a man who becomes one of Napoleon's field marshals (based on the real-life Catherine Hübscher), while Duquesne played Napoleon. Conflicting sources state the director was André Calmettes[1] or Henri Desfontaines.[3]
