Charles Chaplin's A WOMAN OF PARIS Limited Engagement

ABOUT THE FILM:

A WOMAN OF PARIS centers around the title character (frequent Chaplin Studios actor Edna Purviance), who is betrayed by her lover and then cast aside by her would-be fiancé (Adolphe Menjou). Applauded by the press but rejected by the public, then pulled from distribution by Chaplin himself, A WOMAN OF PARIS, with its influential, understated acting and deft storytelling, now stands as one of Chaplin’s greatest directorial achievements.

The 4K restoration of A WOMAN OF PARIS used a second-generation full-frame dupe negative, deposited by Roy Export SAS with Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and selected as the best available element. The film was restored in 2019 by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata in association with Roy Export SAS as part of the Chaplin Project.
