So This is Paris

1926 | 66 MIN

Paul (Monte Blue) and Suzanne Giraud (Patsy Ruth Miller), a happily married couple, are disturbed by their new neighbors, Georgette Lalle (Lilyan Tashman) and her husband Maurice (Andre Beranger), whose provocative dancing leads Suzanne to demand Paul address their behavior. Paul, who discovers that Georgette is an old flame, pretends to be indifferent while secretly planning a rendezvous with her. When Paul is arrested for speeding and falsely claims to be heading to jail, Suzanne begins an affair with Maurice, only to be caught up in a series of misunderstandings. Ultimately, Suzanne discovers Paul and Georgette are celebrating at the Artists’ Ball and confronts him, leading to a reconciliatory reunion.
