What happens
The King of Paris (Russian: «Король Парижа», romanized: Korol' Parizha) is a 1917 Russian silent feature film directed by Yevgeni Bauer. The film was shot in the cinema factory of Aleksandr Khanzhonkov in Yalta. This was the last work of Yevgeni Bauer. As he worked on his previous film, For Happiness (ru: «За счастьем»), Bauer broke his leg, and he shot this film while in a bathchair, but soon fell ill with pneumonia. He began shooting in early summer of 1917, but he was soon placed in Yalta hospital and on 9 June 1917 he died. Actress Olga Rakhmanova finished the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
