The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954 Richard Brooks)

F Scott Fitzgerald story 'Babylon Revisited' (1930) (adapted by the Epsteins and Brooks) about an American serviceman (Van Johnson) who meets Donna Reed and sister Elizabeth Taylor in Paris and falls in love with the latter. Walter Pidgeon is the playboy father and Sandy Descher rather good as the child. Roger Moore, displaying an early lack of acting skill, and Eva Gabor are rivals for the couple's affections.

Thankfully from the Warners Collection (it's actually an MGM film) we finally have a decent print of Joseph Ruttenberg's pastel hues (quite unlike your typical shiny red Metrocolor pictures) - The 'Classic Movies Collection' version of the film is so awful we could only watch about 3 minutes.

Van Johnson kept reminding me of the dummy in Dead of Night.

It isn't quite great, somehow the performances and the story and the Paris setting aren't convincing, and thus it is perhaps due for a remake? The story of the story is well told in this article in The Telegraph.
