The Lady in Red is a 1935 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The short was released on September 7, 1935.[2]

The film score was composed by Bernard B. Brown and Norman Spencer. The two-strip Technicolor was credited on the reissue.

The cartoon follows the early custom of Warner Bros. cartoons in being built around (and thus pushing) a melody from the Warners catalog, in this case, a song called "The Lady in Red" from the 1935 Warner film In Caliente (also known as Viva Señorita).[3]
