Interesting facts

Madame Sans-Gêne is a 1911 silent French film set in the French Revolution and during Napoleon's reign. It is based on the 1893 play of the same name by Victorien Sardou and Émile Moreau. Gabrielle Réjane and Edmond Duquesne reprised their roles in the play; Réjane played the title character, a laundress who marries a man who becomes one of Napoleon's field marshals, while Duquesne played Napoleon. Conflicting sources state the director was André Calmettes or Henri Desfontaines.
