Paris' Girls

1929 · 140 min

A frothy, elegant silent-era confection whose romantic rivalry plays out with light mock-heroic charm and gentle wit.

Overview
This French film confection directed by Henry Roussell concerns two young Parisian beauties in love with same fellow (Fernand Fabre). When one of the girls (Suzy Vernon) goes to America, the one who stays home (Esther Kiss) thinks shes triumphed. But when the traveler returns and the guy goes for her new-found sophistication, the competition continues- including the hilariously mock-heroic duel we see in this four-sheet design.
