      Folies Bergère de Paris

      1935 1h 23m Musical Comedy List
      Reviews In this 1935 musical comedy, featuring the glitzy production numbers of Busby Berkeley, Eugene Charlier (Maurice Chevalier) easily impersonates the married yet unfaithful Baron Cassini (also Chevalier) in his act. When the baron leaves for a secret out-of-country meeting, Charlier gets hired to play him again at a state reception. Both the baron and Charlier romantically toy with the baroness (Merle Oberon) and Charlier's lover, Mimi (Ann Sothern), in an amusing game of mistaken identity. Read More Read Less

      Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine On the whole, Folies Bergeres de Paris is a rather minor Chevalier item, with its special entertainment features too thinly spread out to cover the threadbare plot. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Helen Brown Norden Vanity Fair ... it still gives Chevalier a better chance to demonstrate that really magnificent charm of his which has hitherto been so stupidly suppressed and dulled by his Hollywood management.

      Audience Member The story is ordinary but the dance sequences are wonderful. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Maurice Chevalier (in a dual role) sings and shines, and has good support from Ann Sothern and Merle Oberon; the Busby Berkeley-inspired production numbers (by Dave Gould) won an Oscar. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member good story but not too historically accurate Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
