Lady Paname is a 1950 French comedy film directed and written by Henri Jeanson and starring Louis Jouvet, Suzy Delair, Henri Guisol and Henri Crémieux.[1] It tells the story of a young female singer who tries to become a star in the music hall world of the 1920s and falls in love with a composer. It was shot at the Boulogne Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean d'Eaubonne with costumes by Georges Annenkov.

Plot

The evocation of 1920s Paris mingles with the rapid rise of the irresistible Caprice, a talented singer, and her tumultuous love affair with Jeff the composer. A photographer nicknamed Bagnolet, a gentle anarchist, keeps a gentle eye on Caprice's activities as she becomes Lady Paname, and in the absence of morals, makes love triumph.
