Against the wishes of their tyrannical parents, Jean and Marie decide to elope to Paris but the sudden death of Jean's father makes it impossible for him to meet her at the station, and Marie heads for Paris alone. A year later, Jean finds her in the arms of a rich and decadent playboy… and tragedy ensues.
A hundred years to its making and highly acclaimed by filmmakers from Lubitsch to Scorsese, this brilliant yet subtle Parisian fresco reveals the dramatic genius of the King of Comedy. A Woman of Paris was a courageous step in the career of Charles Chaplin. After seventy films in which he himself had appeared in every scene, he now directed a picture in which he merely walked on for a few seconds. Until this time, every film had been a comedy. A Woman of Paris was a romantic drama.
Filmography: Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Modern Times (1936), City Lights (1931), The Gold Rush (1925), The Kid (1921), The Vagabond (1916).
