Product Description

L'homme des Folies Bergère (1935)

Directors:

Marcel Achard, Roy Del Ruth

Writers:

Marcel Achard, Hans Adler (play)

Stars:

Maurice Chevalier, Natalie Paley, Sim Viva
This French-language version of the 1935 Holly
wood musical Folies Bergere, filmed cuncurrently using the same sets and production crew, retains the original star (Maurice Chevalier) and big-scale production numbers. It also follows substantially the same plot: A nightclub entertainer (Chevalier), is hired to pose as his look-alike (also Chevalier), a prominent aviation tycoon. The masquerade causes consternation for the entertainer's girlfriend, who of course has no idea what's going on, and for the tycoon's wife, who can't understand why her cold-fish husband has suddenly become so warm and demonstrative. Beyond the obvious language change, the major differences between the two Folies Bergeres are found in their supporting casts: for example, Natalie Paley plays the tycoon's spouse role played by Merle Oberon, while Sim Viva, as the girlfriend, fills the dancing shoes of the English-language version's Ann Sothern.

  1. French Language Version of 1934-35 American Chevalier Musical 4 Star Review

    Posted by on Mar 24th 2022

    It was very interesting to view and compare this French version to the 20th Century film "Folies Bergere" starring Maurice Chevalier ... noting similar musical production numbers; and, especially, the inclusion of the song "I Was Lucky" that, while recorded, does not appear in the American version, but DOES appear in a re-written scene in the French version.
