Charles Chaplin's A Woman of Paris caught everyone off guard. Not only was it the famed comic's first drama, but the art of filmmaking was suddenly enriched because of it. Chaplin brought a new subtlety to the era's often heavy-handed style of drama. "Mr. Chaplin has given other directors a postgraduate course in the use of simplicity for the achievement of effectiveness", the prominent fan magazine Photoplay said.The story, set in an aristocratic Paris that filmmaker Chaplin skewers with keen-eyed detail, stars Edna Purviance as a femme who abandons her rural fiancé Jean over a misunderstanding, becomes the mistress of a Parisian man-about-town (Adolphe Menjou) and then faces an emotional crossroads when she reencounters Jean. Chaplin himself appears only in a bit role, lugging a trunk through a train depot.
