A Woman of Paris
A Woman of Paris (also known as A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate) is a 1923 silent drama film written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin. It stars Edna Purviance as the title character, along with Clarence Geldart, Carl Miller, Lydia Knott, Charles K. French and Adolphe Menjou. A United Artists production, the film was an atypical dramatic work for Chaplin.
A Woman of Paris was Chaplin's first dedicated attempt at "straight dramatic subject matter" and his only silent film in which he does not appear as a main actor; his next film was the highly acclaimed comedy The Gold Rush (1925). Years later in 1952, he made Limelight which has been both described as "comedy-drama" and a "drama".
Marie St. Clair and her fiancé, aspiring artist Jean Millet, plan to leave their small French village for Paris, where they will marry. On the night before their scheduled departure, Marie leaves her house for a rendezvous with Jean. Marie's stepfather locks her out of the house, telling her to find shelter elsewhere.
Jean invites Marie to his parents' home, but his father also refuses to let her stay. Jean escorts Marie to the train station, and promises to return after going home to pack. When he arrives at home, he discovers his father has died. When Marie telephones Jean from the station he tells her they must postpone their trip without telling her why. She leaves on the train without him.
A year later in Paris, Marie is enjoying a life of luxury as the mistress of wealthy businessman and philanderer Pierre Revel. A friend calls and invites Marie to a raucous party in the Latin Quarter. She gives Marie the address but cannot remember whether the apartment is in the building on the right or the left. Marie enters the wrong building and is surprised to be greeted by Jean, who shares a modest apartment with his mother. Marie tells Jean she would like for him to paint her portrait and gives him a card with her address.
Jean calls on Marie at her apartment to begin the painting. Marie notices he is wearing a black armband and asks why he is in mourning. Jean tells Marie his father died the night she left without him.
Marie and Jean revive their romance, and Marie distances herself from Pierre Revel. Jean finishes Marie's portrait, but instead of painting her wearing the elegant outfit she chose for the sitting, he paints her in the simple dress she wore on the night she left for Paris.
Jean proposes to Marie. Jean's mother fights with him over the proposal. Marie arrives unexpectedly outside Jean's apartment just in time to overhear Jean pacify his mother, telling her that he proposed in a moment of weakness. Jean fails to convince Marie he did not mean what she overheard, and she returns to Pierre Revel.
