Everybody loves Julia Lambert, she is so charming, she is so elegant, she is so irresistible… But Julia has problems. She is married to Michael, a stage producer, such an understanding man but also a little of a bore (although she will never admit it). She wants to be loved by all but she is vain and self-centered. She is aging (just slightly) and at forty she is beginning (unconsciously) to ask herself questions. And now she has fallen in love with Tom, a handsome young man, (only) a few years her junior. But Tom, more interested in climbing up the social ladder than in her personality, soon gets attracted to a cute upcoming actress, Averice Crichton…

Thanks, Jon, for this wonderful film. Any chance of getting the original German or French (ADORABLE JULIA)?
Hey Dan,
Someone sent me the original in German but I don’t have subs for it unfortunately, if someone makes English subtitles for it in the future I will upload it as well, until then this one will have to do.
Best,
Jon.
Great, Jon!! I have been looking high and low for an english subbed or dubbed version of this film. Many many thanks!
Thank you for uploading it so fast Jon! I can’t wait to watch it!
I love Lilli Palmer do you have more movies with her? Do you have between time and Eternity?
Thank you for posting this movie!

Hello, I’m searching the original (germany) laguauge version! THANKS!
Sorry, I only have this version, if I ever find the original version with German audio I’ll post it.
I saw this movie on TV 50 years ago. It was the dubbed version, but the dubbing was so good that I never noticed it. (It’s just as well, as I am not fluent in German.) Lilli Palmer, Charles Boyer and Jean Sorel all spoke English, and their true voices were heard in this English dubbing. (I have heard a terrible dubbing in the German version; Charles Boyer’s voice in the German version was not obviously his.)
I have been a big fan of Lilli Palmer ever since I saw this film 50 years ago. She was 47 or 48 when she made this film, but she looked 10 years younger. Wonderful actress.
