Moulin Rouge is a 1952 British drama film directed by John Huston, produced by Sir John Woolf and James Woolf of Romulus Films and released by United Artists. The film is set in Paris in the late 19th century, following artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the city's bohemian sub-culture in and around the burlesque palace, the Moulin Rouge. The screenplay is by Huston, based on the novel by Pierre La Mure. The cinematography was by Oswald Morris.
The film stars José Ferrer as Toulouse-Lautrec, with Zsa Zsa Gabor as Jane Avril, Suzanne Flon, Eric Pohlmann, Colette Marchand, Christopher Lee, Michael Balfour, Peter Cushing, Katherine Kath as La Goulue, Theodore Bikel, and Muriel Smith.
In Paris in 1890, as crowds pour into the Moulin Rouge nightclub, young artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec finishes a bottle of cognac and sketches the dancers as they perform. The nightclub's regulars each stop by: singer Jane Avril teases Henri charmingly, dancers La Goulue and Aicha fight, and owner Maurice Joyant offers Henri free drinks for a month in exchange for painting a promotional poster. At closing time, Henri waits for the crowds to disperse before standing to reveal his four-foot, six-inch body. As he walks to his Montmartre apartment, he recalls the events that led to his disfigurement: Henri is a bright, happy child, revered by his father, the Count de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Plot: Monzo Kobayashi is a dime-novel writer. He goes to see the stage of Ranko Mizuki, a star of an all-girls'-operetta company known as Asakusa Revue. Monzo notices a creepy man sitting beside him who keeps his head slumped down and does not even look up when Ranko appears on stage. On the way home from the theater, Monzo encounters another creepy situation. A dwarf (inch-high samurai) with a child-sized body and a grown-up's head passes right by him and is carrying a woman's arm that has been sliced off from the shoulder. Being a writer, this strangely enhances his interest of this dwarf and he begins an investigation about dwarfs. At the same time, his old friend Yurie visits him. Monzo secretly has a crush on her but knows that she is married to some one else. Yurie asks Monzo to introduce her to his friend, the detective, Kogoro Akechi. Monzo agrees to this and takes her to Akechi's apartment. When Akechi tells them about his current investigation, Monzo surprisingly finds out that Ranko Mizuki has disappeared. However, this is just the beginning of a bizarre twist that is going to occur one after another. Monzo and Akechi's challenge to solve the mystery begins.

Genres: ,Love is a many splendored thing
Love lifts us up where we belong All you need is love
Please don't start that again
All you need is love
A girl has got to eat
All you need is love
Or she'll end up on the street
all you need is love
Love is just a game
I was made for loving you baby
you were made for loving me
The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee
Just one night gimme Just one night
There's no way cause you can't pay
In the name of love
one night in the name of love
You crazy fool i won't give into you
Don't leave me this way
i can't survive
without your Sweet love
oh baby don't leave me this way
You'd think that people
would have enough of silly love songs
I look around me and i see it isn't so oh no
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
Well what's wrong with that i'd like to know
Cuz here i go again
Love lifts us up where we belong
where eagles fly on a mountain high
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away for one happy day
We could be heroes just for one day
You will be mean, no i won't
And i i'll drink all the time
We should be lovers we can't do that
We should be lovers and that's a fact
Though nothing would keep us together we could steal time just for one day
We could be heroes forever and ever
We could be heroes forever and ever
We could be heroes
Just because i will always love i can't help loving you
