Lydia is a 1941 American romantic drama film directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Merle Oberon as Lydia MacMillan, a woman whose life is seen from her spoiled, immature youth through bitter and resentful middle years, until at last she is old and accepting. The supporting cast features Joseph Cotten, Edna May Oliver and George Reeves. The picture is often referred to as a remake of Duvivier's Un carnet de bal (1937), which starred Marie Bell as the leading character, although the two films actually share few plot elements.
