| A Woman of Paris | comment |
A Woman of Paris is a 1923 film produced, written by, and directed by, but not starring Charlie Chaplin.It instead stars Edna Purviance as Marie St. Clair, a woman in a rural French village who only wants to marry her sweetheart, Jean (Carl Miller). Both of their families oppose the marriage, things go wrong, and Marie leaves the little village, moving to Paris, where she becomes the kept woman of wealthy gentleman Pierre Revel (Adolph Menjou). A disillusioned Marie is content to live in the lap of luxury—until she meets Jean again.This film was an unusual departure for Charlie Chaplin. It's a drama, and Chaplin doesn't appear in the film except for a brief cameo. A Woman of Paris was Chaplin's attempt to take Edna Purviance, who had been his leading lady in almost every film he made from 1915 to 1923, and get her started in a new career as a dramatic actress. The film did poorly at the box office, and Purviance retired from acting soon after. It did however boost the career of Adolph Menjou, who would be a star in Hollywood for decades. Critically, the film was highly regarded at the time, with the likes of Ernst Lubitsch and Michael Powell citing it as influences on their work. | |

Creator Cameo: Chaplin makes a very brief appearance as a careless railroad porter, about ten minutes in. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| A Woman of Paris / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Jean's father dies the night that he and Marie are supposed to go away. Marie, at the train station, calls his house. Jean says "something terrible has happened", and then is called away from the phone. Marie, assuming that Jean has ditched her, goes off to Paris alone. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| A Woman of Paris / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: At a dramatic point of the movie, a text card tells us "This is not a comedy" (apparently a line said by one of the characters). This being a Chaplin production, it is a fair guess he had to state it somewhere. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Jean is dead, but Marie and Jean's mother have moved back to the country and opened an orphanage. The film ends with Marie and Pierre passing each other on the road without seeing each other. | |

| A Woman of Paris / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Marie tells Pierre that she doesn't care about his money, and chucks a pearl necklace that he gave her out the window. When a bum picks the necklace up, she frantically races out the door and retrieves it, much to Pierre's amusement. | |
