DuBarry Was a Lady is a 1943 Technicolor film, starring Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, and Gene Kelly, and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is based on the 1939 stage musical of the same name.

The film was released by MGM on May 30, 1943, and directed by Roy Del Ruth. It used very little of the original Cole Porter score. New characters were added, and many of the original characters' names were changed. The basic outline remained the same, although the relationships of some of the characters were different. In the film, Ginny (another singer) pines away for Louis, who is too infatuated with May Daly to notice, and it is only at the end that he realizes that Ginny loves him.

The dream sequence in the film was purposely delayed by more than forty-five minutes, with vaudeville-type acts performed as a floor show before the dream sequence got underway. The Louis XV - Mme. DuBarry scenes, unlike the play, featured very little singing.
