Viktor and Viktoria (German: Viktor und Viktoria) is a 1933 German musical comedy film directed by Reinhold Schünzel, starring Renate Müller as a woman pretending to be a female impersonator (that is, a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman). At the same time Schünzel shot the film in a French language version as Georges et Georgette starring Meg Lemonnier and a French cast.
In 1935 Michael Balcon produced an English version First a Girl directed by Victor Saville and starring Jessie Matthews and Sonnie Hale. There was a remake in West-Germany by Karl Anton in 1957.
