Marie St. Clair (Edna Purviance) is a desperate young woman who suspects she has been dumped by her flighty fiancé, Jean (Carl Miller), after he mysteriously stands her up at a railway station, where they were to meet in order to travel to Paris together. She goes off to Paris alone, where she meets wealthy Pierre Revel (Adolphe Menjou) and becomes his mistress. But a year later she meets Jean again and, suddenly caught between two men, isn't sure where her heart truly lies.

Feb 09, 2011This was a good movie, a sad, romantic, and sometimes a bit humourous story, with good actors. Just note that Chaplin only directs the movie, he doesn't act in it. Overall, it's a good movie, but there were a couple of boring scenes in the middle of the movie.Aj V Super Reviewer

Sep 11, 2008What distincts A Woman of Paris is the line between its overt melodrama and the glorious feature-film period in which Chaplin entered with The Kid.Here,he experimented without his beloved Charlot and yet,Menjou is stellar and so is the usually briosa Purviance. Predictable and sticking to the strictly condemned love affair,I can only applaud the effort,plus the ironic output,even if he isn't at his most magnificent.Dimitris S Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2007Charles Chaplin is not the star of this, his first serious drama. It's a silent film but Chaplin's direction of actors is so good that they don't overact, all seems very natural. the story is full of controversial or indecent themes for the time it was made (rebellious children, sex outside matrimony, women's lib). A very subtle novelty, as Chaplin said "it's all about how men and women tend to hide their emotions"Pierluigi P Super Reviewer
