The Girl Downstairs is a 1938 American romantic-comedy film directed by Norman Taurog and starring Franciska Gaal, Franchot Tone and Walter Connolly. It is a remake of the 1936 Austrian film Catherine the Last, directed by Henry Koster, which had been a major hit for Gaal. This was Franciska Gaal's third appearance in American films, and her first for MGM. It was her final American film before her return to Hungary in 1940. ()
