Paris In Five Days - 1926 - 6/10
AKA - Paris en Cinq Jours
Chicago accountant Harry, takes new girlfriend Dolly to Paris for five days.
What follows is the parody of the quickie / cheapie tour.
The open bus, rolling down boulevards, passengers looking quickly, snapping photos.
The 15 minute drinks break. A hurried rush through museums.
Dolly catches the eye of a smooth seducer, while Harry, over and over, gets lost or into trouble.
Fast moving silent, packed with sight gags and situation comedy.
Not to mention Parisian exteriors, late 1920’s.
The print I watched was beautifully restored, BUT had no sound and the French inter-titles were not translated.
