Zaza

In this 1923 American silent romantic drama film, Gloria Swanson shines as Zaza, a spirited actress and music hall girl whose life is turned upside down when she catches the eye of diplomat Bernard Dufresne. With a cast of colorful characters, including her rival Flournanne and Dufresne's wife, this film is a wild ride full of romance, rivalry, and humor, all set against the charming backdrop of a small French town. Shot at Paramount's Astoria Studios in New York City, Zaza brings to life the classic tale that has been adapted multiple times before it, with Swanson bringing her signature energy and charm to the lead role.
