French Cancan (1955)
À Paris, Henri Danglard est directeur d’une salle de spectacle à Montmartre, « Le Paravent Chinois », dont la vedette, « la Belle Abbesse » est sa maîtresse. Pour attirer une clientèle de bourgeois, il prend le double pari de remettre à la mode un vieux quadrille, passé de mode, le Cancan, et se lance dans la rénovation d’un vieil établissement avec le soutien du prince Alexandre de Russie. Il désire nommer le lieu : « Le Moulin-Rouge ». Il choisi Nini, jeune blanchisseuse, pour en faire sa danseuse vedette. Dans son projet, Danglard se heurte à la jalousie de Lola, danseuse éprise de lui, aux revirements de son commanditaire et aux souteneurs de Montmartre.
