Wikipedia article
'The Postman from Longjumeau' (German: 'Der Postillon von Lonjumeau') is a 1936 Austrian-Swiss musical comedy film directed by Carl Lamac and starring Carl Esmond, Rose Stradner and Alfred Neugebauer. The film is known by several alternative titles including 'Der Knig lchelt Paris lacht' ('The King Smiles Paris Laughs'). It is loosely based on the 1836 opera 'Le postillon de Lonjumeau' by Adolphe Adam. In eighteenth-century France, a Postilion from Longjumeau is summoned by Madame de Pompadour to sing in her opera company, forcing him to be separated from his wife.
