Director: Alfred E. Green
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Paris Model is quickie producer Albert_Zugsmith's answer to such multistoried films as Tales of Manhattan. Linking the four stories presented herein is a Paris-original gown, "Nude at Midnight." The gown is first purchased by "good bad girl" Gogo Montaine (Eva_Gabor), who hopes to impress her date for the evening, the Maharajah of Kim-Kepore (Tom_Conway, who happened to be Gabor's brother-in-law at the time, a fact that wasn't ignored in the film's publicity). Next, the gown is illegally copied in the U.S., leading to a major social gaffe involving secretary Betty Barnes (Paulette_Goddard), her boss Edgar Blevins (Leif_Erickson) and Blevins' wife Cora (Gloria_Christian). Next, Marion Parmelee (Marilyn_Maxwell) wears the gown to coerce her husband's boss (Cecil_Kellaway) into giving hubby a promotion. And finally, Marta Jensen (Barbara_Lawrence) dons the gown in hopes that her erstwhile beau Charlie Johnson (Robert_Hutton) will pop the question. Tom_Conway makes a return appearance in this final sequence, as does 1930s comedy favorite El_Brendel and Hollywood restaurateur Prince_Michael_Romanoff. Hal Erickson, Rovi
