Adorable Julia (German: Julia, Du bist zauberhaft) is a 1962 Austrian comedy film directed by Alfred Weidenmann and starring Lilli Palmer, Charles Boyer and Jean Sorel.[1] It was entered into the 1962 Cannes Film Festival.[2] It is based on the 1937 novel Theatre by W. Somerset Maugham, and the subsequent play that Guy Bolton and Marc-Gilbert Sauvajon adapted from the novel.
The sets were designed by the art director Leo Metzenbauer. The film was partly shot on location in London. It was made with the backing of the German Constantin Film, which produced a number of Austrian films during the period.
