The Rose of Paris

Mitsi, a soul forged in the austere quietude of a French convent, finds herself thrust into the cacophonous sprawl of 1920s Paris—a transition not merely of geography, but of existential vulnerability. As the unwitting scion of a monumental fortune, she becomes the focal point of a predatory scheme orchestrated by a relative whose outward refinement masks a cavernous greed. The film charts her navigation through a social minefield where the promise of heritage is eclipsed by the threat of total dispossession. This Irving Cummings production serves as a poignant exploration of the loss of innocence, where the shimmering lights of the metropolis cast long, avaricious shadows over a girl who seeks only belonging, yet finds herself a pawn in a high-stakes game of aristocratic survival and financial usurpation.
