Short description
When Marie St. Clair believes she has been jilted by her artist fiance Jean, she decides to leave for Paris on her own. After spending a year in the city as a mistress of the wealthy Pierre Revel, she is reunited with Jean by chance. This leaves her with the choice between a glamorous life in Paris, and the true love she left behind.
What's left behind the scenes
- The re-release of this film – with new music and re-edited – became Charlie Chaplin’s last work in cinema (1989-1977). By that time, Chaplin was already 87 years old, extremely weak, but still able to walk. The film was released in 1977, after his death.
- This was Charlie Chaplin's first major failure in his career. Many believed the film would have been a box office success if it hadn't been associated with Chaplin's name.
- On New Year's Eve in 1924, Edna Purviance (1895-1958) attended a reception with oil magnate Cortlandt Dinyes (1889-1945) and actress Mabel Normand (1892-1930), when Normand's chauffeur, "defending Mabel Normand's honor," shot Dinyes with Normand's pistol. In court, Dinyes refused to testify, and the chauffeur was acquitted. Due to Purviance's indirect involvement in the scandal, the film's screening was banned in some US cities.
