Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Paris is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) pre-Code musical comedy film, featuring Irène Bordoni. It was filmed with Technicolor sequences: four of the film's ten reels were originally filmed in Technicolor. Paris was the fourth color film released by Warner Bros. Pictures; the first three were The Desert Song (although it was only a part-color film), On with the Show!, and Gold Diggers of Broadway, all released in 1929. (Song of the West was actually completed by June 1929 but had its release delayed until March 1930.) The film was adapted from the Cole Porter Broadway musical of the same name. The musical was Porter's first Broadway hit. Only fragment film elements of Paris are known to exist, although the complete international soundtrack survives on Vitaphone disks. The sound tape reels for this film survive at UCLA Film & Television Archive. Paris was the fourth film Warner Bros. made under their Technicolor contract. The filmmakers used a color (Technicolor) process of red and green, at the time it was the third process of Technicolor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
