Under the Roofs of Paris (1930)

Modest Film is Entertaining Soap - Under the Roofs of Paris

[5/10 · 4 October 2022]

This modest little film features a triangle among a girl, a gangster and a street singer. We already know where the film will wind up, but the characterizations are a bit interesting, and coming to the inevitable conclusion requires a bit of inventiveness by the writers, which is provided to satisfaction. Make no mistake, however; this is not the Hunchback of Notre Dame with an enormous budget and enormous talents to match. It is a small production that still captures the best of soap instincts. If you have the patience, you will be rewarded with a satisfactory soap ending. You can also add a star if you are a soap fan.
