The Blue Danube (French: Le Danube bleu) is a 1940 French drama film directed by Emil E. Reinert and Alfred Rode and starring Madeleine Sologne, José Noguéro and Marguerite Moreno.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Émile Duquesne. Rode had produced a previous version of the film featuring Conchita Montenegro and Thomy Bourdelle but the negative of this was damaged during a March 1939 fire at the LTC laboratories in Paris and had to be re-shot with a different cast.
