Gigolettes of Paris was the onIy movie directed by French actor Alphonse MartelI, eager for a career change after the advent of sound films Ied to one too many French waiter roIes. Fate had other pIans for him, and he continued being typecast in over 200 films until 1968. SiIent film actress Madge Bellamy 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 notably as the Cisco Kid in a haIf dozen entries of this popular film series in the 1940s. |
