About It's the Paris Life
In 1906, Viscount Paul de Barfleur fell in love with Cri-Cri delagrange, a singer at the cabaret "La vie parisienne". But the young man's father separated the lovers, who then married, each on his own... Forty-seven years later, in 1953, Cri-Cri and Paul's respective granddaughter and grandson meet by chance and fall in love with each other. The girl's father disapproves of the affair and is about to put an end to it. But the old Vicomte de Barfleur, who has never been consoled by not marrying Cri-Cri, intervenes in time to save the couple's happiness.
Directed by Alfred Rode, It's the Paris Life leans on a strong ensemble — Claudine Dupuis, Philippe Lemaire, Raymond Bussières — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1954.
