Critic Reviews for Paris

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (1)

As on the stage, Miss Bordoni seems best suited to the revue type of entertainment where she can come and go In specialties to turn loose her full strength.

It is quite obvious that these colored portions are stealing laughs from the show and, taking everything into consideration, one prefers the merriment to the pastel shades.

Mordaunt Hall
New York Times
This fastidious mingling of elegance and imperturbability, of a languid manner and lightning footwork, is delightfully set off by the voluble excitability and humorous charm of Mile. Irene Bordoni.

A very good entertainment, although not a sensation.There are plentiful laughs, some good music, and good acting. But, although Miss Bordoni does good acting, the honors are stolen by Louise Closser Hale.

These scenes have been produced on a lavish scale, skilfully conceived stage settings combining with brilliant costumes and agile movements to give an extremely impressive effect.

Irene Bordoni comes through on the screen equally as well as she has sung her way to fame on the musical stage. She has charm, vivacity and real screen ability.

Paris is a comedy of song, dance, and colour, in which Irene Bordoni makes the best use of her sparkle and vivacious manner.

The picture is packed with spectacular scenes, a number of which are in colour, while the many beautiful gowns worn by the feminine members of the cast and a beauty ballet of 200 help to make Paris, for beauty premier talking productions yet.

One must see Paris to appreciate the insouciant charm of Irene Bordoni, the honest-to-goodness ability of Jack Buchanan, and the real, humor that is woven into the story they translate into terms of splendid entertainment.
