In Rene Clair's irrepressibly romantic portrait of the crowded tenements of Paris, a street singer and a gangster vie for the love of a beautiful young woman. This witty exploration of love and human foibles, told primarily through song, captures the flamboyant atmosphere of the city with sophisticated visuals and groundbreaking use of the new technology of movie sound. An international sensation upon its release, Under The Roofs Of Paris is an exhilarating celebration of filmmaking and one of France's most beloved cinematic exports.
"It is far more movie than talkie, which exercises the imagination and rests the ear." National Board Of Review
"One of the first imaginative approaches to the musical as a film form." Pauline Kael
"Charming. Lovely." The L.A. Reader
"A groundbreaking link between silent and sound cinema." Leonard Maltin
Editor's Note
A romantic "boy-meets-girl" drama with historical significance as the first French film with sound and the first screen musical.
