The Postman from Longjumeau is a 1936 Austrian-Swiss musical comedy film directed by Carl Lamac and starring Carl Esmond, Rose Stradner and Alfred Neugebauer. The film is known by several alternative titles including Der König lächelt – Paris lacht. It is loosely based on the 1836 opera Le postillon de Lonjumeau by Adolphe Adam.
