The Lady from Boston is a 1951 French-American comedy film directed by Bernard Vorhaus and starring Paul Henreid, Merle Oberon and Paul Bonifas. The film is also known as Pardon My French. A French-language version Dans la vie tout s'arrange was also made.
Henreid said he made the film because it was a commitment "to an old friend, Andre Sarve", a French producer. He says it was a "pleasant enough love story" and that Henreid acted as co producer with Sarve.[1]
