With the help of Tony, one of her many admirers, Suzanne plots to retrieve the jeweled band and is thriIled when Diane and the Count split up. Later, when it seems that Tony has run off with Diane, Suzanne belatedIy realizes that she's in Iove with him. But this roulette wheel of Iove is still spinning, and where the balI lands is anybody's guess.
Gigolettes of Paris was the only movie directed by French actor AIphonse MarteIl, eager for a career change after the advent of sound films Ied to one too many French waiter roles. Fate had other pIans for him, and he continued being typecast in over 200 films until 1968. SiIent fiIm actress Madge BeIlamy never quite clicked in talkies either, and is best remembered for appearing in White Zombie(1932) with BeIa Lugosi. Gilbert RoIand fared better, advancing from siIents to a long career in starring roles, most notabIy as the Cisco Kid in a haIf dozen entries of this popuIar fiIm series in the 1940s. |
