Auction History Result 4t0869 WOMAN OF PARIS Danish program 1924 Charlie Chaplin directed, ultra rare! Date Sold 6/23/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1924 (from the first release of this movie in Denmark) Vintage Theatrical Danish Movie Program (measures 5 1/2" x 8" [14 x 20 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate, the 1923 Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin) silent France romantic love triangle melodrama ("A drama of fate"; "Written and Directed by Charles Chaplin"; about a woman who has a true love, but fate separates them and she becomes the mistress of a rich man, but then, she meets her love again, with unhappy results) starring Edna Purviance, Adolphe Menjou, Carl Miller, Lydia Knott, and Betty Morrissey. Note that this was one of only two movies that Charlie Chaplin directed and did not star in (and the other was made 44 years later, "A Countess From Hong Kong"). This movie did not do well at the box office, in spite of many people admiring it a lot, and many people have wondered if a big part of its failure was because Chaplin's name was prominent in the advertising, so maybe people were disappointed in not seeing him, and even more disappointed in it not being a comedy. It might have been successful if his name had not been attached at all! In any event, its failure likely prevented him from making other movies, which is a real shame (the same situation occurred many years later when Charles Laughton directed "The Night of the Hunter").
