old but gold 😀
This is exactly the kind of old movie I’ve been searching for. Charming from beginning to end.
معقد لكنه جميل شكرًا لك تحياتي لك من العراق
Faticoso guardare con i sottotitoli ☺
This was fun! She's delightful, he's dashing, and the supporting cast is just nutty enough, but still believable.
Danielle Darrieux !! Quelle femme !!!
🙏❤📽️❤❤❤

💪Ça va bien!
We need more of this type of films nowadays. HAPPY OCTOBER and FALL 2025
Douglas Fairbanks and Danielle Darrieux are pretty good in this oldie but goodie comedy about a French woman trying to be a model and getting mixed up with a guy in the modeling agency-from there it’s one thing after another-and the laughs go way outta hand-This is GREAT to WATCH! 😂😂😂😂😂
Old fashion great movie. Very well casted actors, and a good story.
