A Woman of Paris Facts
Charles Chaplin:  a railroad worker. He is very easy to spot. He is carrying a huge box over his head, and he is alone.
Charles Chaplin conceived this film to help Edna Purviance's career independent of him. However, while the film did boost Adolphe Menjou's career considerably, it did little for hers.
This was Charles Chaplin's second critical failure, after his short film Sunnyside. That short was re-issued with a new score with this film in 1977.
On New Year's Day 1924, Edna Purviance was at a party with oil tycoon Courtland Dines and Mabel Normand when Normand's chauffeur, "defending Mabel Normand's honor" shot Dines with a gun owned by Mabel Normand. Dines refused to testify at the trial where the chauffeur (Horrace Greer, who was an escapee from a chain gang living under an assumed name) was found not guilty. As a result of Purviance's arms-length relationship to this scandal, this film was banned in several US cities.
First of only two films Charles Chaplin directed in which he did not take a starring role. The second was A Countess from Hong Kong.
