The Girl from Gay Paree (1927)
She was the flattest tire in town- till she borrowed the wicked glamor of the city by the Seine. And then how she did balloon out socially; A hilarious comedy of appearances- a banquet of entertainment, with only the menu in fFrench.

In desperation, Mary agrees to impersonate Mademoiselle Fanchon, formerly of the Folies-Bergère, who has walked out on her contract. Reporter Kenneth Ward interviews Mary, believing her to be the notorious Frenchwoman, and due to a misunderstanding, she rushes wildly into his arms. When Robert Ryan, a bachelor friend of the real Fanchon, investigates Mary’s deception, she violently repels his advances and believes she has killed him. Later, the real Fanchon threatens to kill Robert. Following a series of amusing complications, Mary finds love with Kenneth.
