A Parisian Romance

This is a sad pre-code melodrama that depicts an aging wealthy womanizer who never falls in love, just uses his money to basically buy young lovers. He finally meets a young innocent woman who doesn't want his money and is engaged to a poor artist...The wealthy Baron tries to steal her away, but has he finally met his match?

Really scandalous the affairs...the jealousy, the violence and the lies, the references to tarnished reputations. This was interesting just from it's pre-code perspective...but otherwise a bit of a sleeper.

Great quotes from our love-em and leave them Baron:

"Love is an illusion that one woman is different from another."

"There are two things a man shouldn't run after, a bus and a woman because there is always sure to be another one."
