Madame Louise is a 1945 comedy play by the British writer Vernon Sylvaine.

It premiered at the His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen and then went on to a long West End run at the Garrick Theatre, lasting for 410 performances between February 1945 and February 1946.[1][2]

Film adaptation

In 1951 the play served as a loose basis for a film adaptation made at Walton Studios. Neither of the original stars appeared in the film version, which was rewritten to suit different actors.[3]
