Plot Synopsis

Carol Reed's career at Associated Talking Pictures had been streaking rapidly forward when Basil Dean, head of the studio, decided to entrust him with his first directorial assignment, It Happened in Paris, co-directed by Robert Wyler. The film is one of a number of early Reed works that have largely disappeared from view. The film was a romantic drama from an insignificant French play, a millionaire's son goes to Paris to study art and finds romance, to win the love of the beautiful girl he portrays himself as poor.
