S3E01.5 - Charlie Chaplin's 'A Woman of Paris' [1923] with Margaret “Molly” Rasberry

Margaret "Molly" Rasberry joins us to for a special side episode on Charlie Chaplin’s A WOMAN OF PARIS: A DRAMA OF FATE, a key influence on Ernst Lubitsch going forward. We discuss Chaplin’s political leanings, the luminous Adolphe Menjou, the stories of the women who inspired the film, the impact it had on Lubitsch’s career, the evolution of film acting techniques, and the joy of pre-code conduct.
