The Last Time I Saw Paris

1954 · 116 min

A wistful, glossy postwar romance that drifts from giddy celebration into quiet heartbreak, carried by glamour and regret.

The sensational story of youth on a fling
Overview
Reporter Charles Wills, in Paris to cover the end of World War II, falls for the beautiful Helen Ellswirth following a brief flirtation with her sister, Marion. After he and Helen marry, Charles pursues his novelistic ambition while supporting his new bride with a deadening job at a newspaper wire service. But when an old investment suddenly makes the family wealthy, their marriage begins to unravel — until a sudden tragedy changes everything.
