CGiii Comment

A gay director and a ridiculous story.

The charm has gone, Hollywood of yesteryear becomes more redundant with every passing year. Isn't that sad?

The(ir) Blurb...

Showgirl Eve, stranded in Paris without a sou, befriends taxi driver Tibor Czerny, then gives him the slip to crash a party. There she meets Helene Flammarion and her gigolo Picot, who's attracted to Eve. Helene's scheming husband Georges enlists Eve's aid in taking Picot away from his wife. It works well - at first. Meanwhile, lovestruck Tibor searches for Eve. But then he learns she's calling herself Baroness Czerny.
