A Woman of Paris

Charles Chaplin (1923) 93 mins

A commercial failure on its initial release, Chaplin’s bold romantic drama is now widely regarded as one of the key works of his long career. This sophisticated, groundbreakingly complex Lubitschean drama of manners involves a French girl (Chaplin favourite Edna Purviance) who, due to a misunderstanding, fails to marry her sweetheart & ends up in Paris as the mistress of perennial sophisticate, Adolphe Menjou.

Preceded by

The Count

Charles Chaplin (1916) 18 mins.

One of Chaplin’s finest Mutual comedies features Charlie in a hilarious tale of impersonation..

* Followed at 9.00pm by The Godless Girl.
