Toulouse Lautrec - Moulin Rouge (1952)

Fictional account of French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec frequently visits the Moulin Rouge, where he drinks cognac and draws sketches of the dancers and singers.

Though the son of a French count, Henri's legs were badly deformed by a childhood fall, and his personal life is often unhappy as a result.

While he is going home one night, a spirited young woman of the streets, Marie, asks him for help.

He falls in love with her, and the two become involved in a tumultuous relationship.

It becomes increasingly difficult for Toulouse-Lautrec to balance his personal feelings, his artistic abilities, and his family name and position.
