Under the Roofs of Paris

Afraid to go home because the nasty thief Fred (Gaston Modot) stole the key to her room, Pola (Illery) is still nervous about sleeping over with her new friend Albert (Prejean), still on the first evening, in Rene Clair's Under The Roofs Of Paris, 1930.

Again the shot up the face of the building, the first evening finds the song catching on, with Albert (Prejean) and friends (Edmond T. Greville, Thomy Bourdelle) at the cafe, and Pola (Illery), pursued by Fred (Gaston Modot), in Rene Clair's dark musical comedy Under The Roofs Of Paris, 1930.

Already a highly-regarded director of silents, and reluctant to embrace sound, Rene Clair, working from his own script and song he co-wrote, goes all-in, introducing his hero Albert (Prejean), singing for a crowd including Pola (Illery), opening Under The Roofs Of Paris, 1930.
