Lady Paname (1950)

Set in 1920s Paris, an entertainer (Suzy Delair) is struggling to make a success as a singer in the music halls of Paris. After securing a song from a popular composer (Henri Guisol), she becomes a sensation as Lady Paname. Directed by screenwriter (FANFAN LA TULIPE) and journalist Henri Jeanson in his only directorial credit. An amiable comedy with musical numbers (though I wouldn't call it a musical) that is a bit overlong for something so lightweight. The movie grasps the music hall atmosphere of the 1920s nicely and Delair is quite charming. Certainly not mandatory cinema but if you happen to stumble across it, you might want to give it a look. With Louis Jouvet, Henri Cremieux, Raymond Souplex and Jane Marken.
